So what functionality is Hiren utilizing to enter windows in that mode

[@badbob382]

I see hiren CD was Win10, would it work on a Win11 system?

[@michael-james1970]

It only works if you have set up a local account.

[@calmacc1968]

Same question. Does it work in win 11?

[@michael-james1970]

Only if you have setup a local account.

So this is all someone needs to do to break into a computer?

To get into a local account, yes. Domain accounts used by businesses are a bit different.
