can anybody tell me "user authentication methods supported by Windows 98"?

Windows 98 does not use a local user accounts database for user authentication like Windows NT 4, 2000 Professional or XP Professional does.  Therefore, any username and password information associated with a session in Windows 98 merely allows you to personalize desktop and application settings.\n\nThe only authentication methods supported by 98, then, would be network-based log-in information that would be entered when connecting to a network share.

Go to control panel and then User accounts.\n\nThere should be an option for it.

I'm making a massive assumption that you are referring to MS Windows system here.  Unless there is another account in the administrators group you need the old password.  If you don't I'm afraid it's back to the Windows CD.  ...or you could try l0phtcrack - google it.  You'll need to do a bit of footwork to get at the SAM which contains the password but the advice that comes with l0phtcrack will get you through this.

In WinRar you have this feature.\nWhen adding to archive, in the window go to protection and set a password

I can't say I even undertand the question.\n\nIn Windows XP Professional and higher, you can right click on a file (EXEs included) and change the permissions in the "Security" tab, adding and removing users of the local system or NT domain...

Try the offline Windows NT Password Editor.  Or alternatively try booting into safe mode and typing in administrator at the login prompt.  A lot of the time that USER ID has no password but can usually only be accessed by booting into safe mode

if you want access to the user accounts in xp, and the standard window from within control panel isn't working, you can do this:\n\n• click the 'start' button\n• click 'run'\n• type: control userpasswords2\n• 'ok' it\n\nin the window which appears you can add/remove users, change passwords and loads of other options.

Go to control panel, then go to users, and set a password for your account. It will require you to type in your password when you boot windows. This is all assuming you are using windows.

How you log on depends on the protocol that is being used for the authentication.\n\nFortunately for you, Python has libraries for interacting with HTTP, FTP, NNTP, SMTP etc.\n\nGive the docs below a try.
