MacGamer.net - Uplink - Gameplay - User Accounts
User Accounts
Certain systems have other user accounts than Admin that you can hack into. The main ones are the International Academic Database, Social Security Database, and Global Criminal Database. These systems have 2 other accounts you can hack; readwrite, and readonly. You can access these accounts by entering these names into the user name box of the password screen before using the password breaker. The advantage of using these is that you are not traced when you enter a system with these accounts (provided you use the Monitor Bypass). The disadvantage is that you cannot access the admin section of the system (which means you can't directly access the systems logs). It is entirely down to personal preference which you use when hacking these systems, but it can make life easier not having to worry about being traced when you have a lot of work to do on the system.
