Mr-Protocol Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 Give this a read: http://pogostick.net/~pnh/ntpasswd/ If you want to crack the user passwords, you will need the SAM file and NTUser.dat for the user you want to crack. Then you can run it through a number of tools to brute force it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooper Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 Does Windows allow the UNIX trick where you simply replace the password database with accounts that you do know the passwords for? From that point on it's a quick reboot and you're golden. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another option would be to use Konboot and change the passwords with that. Last I remember that does an on the fly kernel patch in memory to allow any password to login.

cooper Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 (edited) That sounds promising. I haven't heared of that before so I'll definately be having a look at that. Seems to me this would be the fastest and easiest route to success. Lol. Found it. It'll cost ya $15 to get a license so unless you manage to keep THE PIRATEs at BAY you should need to get your clients to fork over some dosh.

cooper Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 I particularly like that last one. It would seem to be the least intrusive method. The free version of Kon-boot you're linking to is about 4 years old now... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
