chntpw allows you to view some information and change user passwords
|
||
|
|
in a Windows (NT/XP/Vista/win7) etc SAM userdatabase file. You do
|
||
|
|
not need to know the old passwords. However, you need to get at the
|
||
|
|
file some way or another yourself. In addition it contains a simple
|
||
|
|
registry editor with full write support, and hex-editor which
|
||
|
|
enables you to fiddle around with bits&bytes in the file as you
|
||
|
|
wish yourself.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
There are 3 main executables
|
||
|
|
- "ntreg" (the registry library)
|
||
|
|
- "chntpw" (the password reset / registry editor frontend)
|
||
|
|
- "reged" (registry editor /export tool)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Quickstart example, where /dev/sda1 (or whatever partition Windows
|
||
|
|
has been installed in) is mounted to /mnt/windows:
|
||
|
|
chntpw -i /mnt/windows/Windows/System32/config/SAM
|
||
|
|
The previous line should open a shell-driven menu.
