How to remove HWID ban in APB

[daninin]

Hey there! I have been checking around and saw alot of getting banned (not posts in the forum), and I have saw some other tutorials to get unbanned from a "life-time" ban.

* Works for PC only / MAC wasn't checked*

I'm not responsible if you ruined you're pc, this worked for me fine.
DO NOT FORGET TO BACKUP STUFF YOU'VE CHANGED.

Following files/text's need to be Backedup
-> HWID
-> preferences.bin
-> Last_Session.bin

Requirements:
• Regedit.exe (windows included)
• Admin account of current PC
• APB Runned once

Windows 7/Vista:
1. Open WIN button (bottom left key)
2. Type in regedit.exe
3. Open it and allow it full admin control
4. Navigate to "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Cryptograph y"
5. MachineGuid -> replace it with other randomly numbers/letters
6. Close regedit.exe and go to "APB Reloaded/Binaries"
7. Backup and delete: "preferences.bin", "Last_Session.bin".

Windows XP:
1. Open WIN button (bottom left key)
2. Open Run
3. Type in regedit.exe
4. Open it and allow it full admin control
5. Navigate to "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Cryptograph y"
6. MachineGuid -> replace it with other randomly numbers/letters
7. Close regedit.exe and go to "APB Reloaded/Binaries"
8. Backup and delete: "preferences.bin", "Last_Session.bin".

BEFORE YOU ENTER THE GAME AGAIN, TRY THIS:
Even when you did all of that, it cannot work all the time. please make some changes to this things to make sure it will work 100%.

* This is only if you want to be 100% sure.

-> change computer name
-> change username
-> change MAC address*
-> change Volume Serial Number (C: )*
-> delete the folders in "APB Reloaded\APBGame\Config\Account"*

And now you can enter APB again! please note this wont get rid of you're account ban. this will only let you're computer play again

This is the dump that everyone used to get this information

Explained:

Strings were crypted with xoring.

-> GetAdaptersInfo()
-> GetCurrentHwProfileW() -> "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contr ol\IDConfigDB\Hardware Profiles\0001\HwProfileGuid"

I hope this would help you! I have wroten this tutorial, only the DUMP and the explaination were taken from a free-source site

Happy cheating :3
