Windows 9x just stored your password in a pwl file. All you had to do to "hack" into an account was rename this file and it would accept any new password. Of course Windows 9x had no file system security and this hack didn't give you any network resource access but you could brute force the pwl file if you really wanted too. Although it did require quite a bit of CPU for the time obviously.
