DA126 Posted October 24, 2009 Posted October 24, 2009 A girl brought her laptop into the helpdesk where I work and she doesn't remember the password that she used. All the programs that we tried will not work on 64 bit versions. Anyone with some ideas? Quote
Netshroud Posted October 25, 2009 Posted October 25, 2009 Offline NT Password and Registry Editor should work, so should Ophcrack. Quote

digip Posted October 25, 2009 Posted October 25, 2009 Boot a live linux disc, mount system32 folder, do the utilman/cmd switch, reboot, run utilman at the login box(which will load the command prompt, "windows key+u") then start explorer.exe from the shell, then you should be logged in as "system" and have access to recover files, etc. Quote
DA126 Posted October 25, 2009 Author Posted October 25, 2009 Ok I will give those a shot next time I'm in at the desk, also I was doing some research with Back Track and I think there are some easy ways to do it through that as well. Quote
