    Great tool. I've been using a custom linux distro where I can just do it in a few clicks with a GUI. Sometimes the SAM file isn't in the right location and cmd line doesn't work right. I think it should be worth mentioning that if the drive is encrypted, you will fubar the entire thing by doing a SAM file related PW reset. You also cannot unlock accounts that use a Microsoft Account login with any tool that I've used/found.

    It's funny you made this video today. I was tasked to install something on a work machine with lost admin password. I just booted Kali and used chntpw only to discover the only admin was the Administrator account.
    We discovered that a previous staff was using Administrator as normal user with her personal Gmail logged in and League of Legends installation files in her download folder.
    I removed quite a lot of things before proceeding

  • @martsmiscmix
    @martsmiscmix 4 года назад +1

    Thanks Chris, this was really handy to know as I've just "upgraded" my fairly old (2006 vintage) machine from Win7 to Win10. It became apparent that at some point I'd set a password for my default user account, and that I'd totally forgotten that I'd done that, and of course what the password was (I tried everything I could think of, but nothing worked).
    Anyway, I followed your instructions and apart from a problem I had with the USB thumb drive I was using (it was one of those which converts an SD card to USB in an adapter), and used a "proper" one, it worked exactly as it should.
    A possible side-effect was that the next time I ran MS Outlook, it seemed to have "forgotten" all the email passwords for my email accounts, and I've had to put them back into the config.
    Assuming this is NOT a coincidence, I presume Outlook is using the same file for its email account password that the Windows account manager is using?
    Thanks for your hard work, Chris, and I hope 2020 is a good year for you and yours.

      I spoke too soon. Was able to open and get in as admin. Looks like the previous user loaded win 10 pro without activation. So one in it won't let me make user changes. Using your script, I noticed password not required has an X. Admin does not. The user pw is on "blank" but it ask for a pin or pw.

    Rufus does work well If you are trying to get through to "Windows Password" However if you are locked out at the HDD (hard drive) password that is set by the computer manufacturer, then you must call them to get the master password that is set on the "hard drive" when it was bought.

    Thank soooooooo much. You really saved me a lot. I joined my PC to a network and after some months, I had to change the account user name and password from the domain AD for my own reasons. After doing this successfully, I got this error "The trust relationship between this workstation and the primary domain failed " when I tried signing in using the new username and password so the only option was to unjoin it from the network and join it again BUT I had to first login with the local Administrator account which I did not Know and this stressed me a lot but you saved me. Thank You so much. God Bless you for sharing this.

    This is why you should have a bios password to stop people booting from usb. Also this won't work if the drive has bitlocker enabled. Microsoft know the passwords can be easily reset which is why they advice you use bios passwords and encryption.
