#windows11 #windows10 #tech
I just finished following these steps. Worked like a charm. Thank you so much!!
what if you use this on a wm on a windows pc and do that is that the same trick or is the sam a problem ?
Can that software be loaded in Linux Mint as well? And getting new(er) computers with all the security stuff enabled (for Windows 11, for example) can be a real pain in the neck.
I am a windows user, however I believe in having knowledge of a Linux system is just as important. You have just proved how Linux is useful and still used. Most things today still use some form of Linux.
Someday I will eventually get around to learning more, I will eventually create a Linux system. But I will always be a windows user, nothing wrong with having or using the best from both worlds. Think of it like being able to speak more than one language.
If you have money to burn and free time to learn, you can use Linux as your main desktop and buy a second GPU to pass through a VM to run windows with close to full power while using Linux as your host OS.
You can do it with in windows itself. Go to the recovery environment and go to command prompt and enable the super admin account. Restart the computer and then log in the super admin accounts. Open to the control panel then user accounts and click on your main account. Then boom reset or remove the password entry and you’re done. Don’t forget to re disabled the super admin account because hackers can use it just as well as you can.
I'm attempting to help a friend who lost his password....the Linux method seems onerous....I would like to use yours, but have never heard of enabling a super user account....his is an xp home version....we found an old recovery cd that I don't know will work with your method, but it seems a lot easier if it does.
@@cemery50hello. Have yoy tried with HBCD? There are useful tools for remove/change login passwords no utilities
Can't get to Command Prompt until you have your password. What are you talking about?
@@roginutah the recovery environment? 😭
I eventually found my way to the command prompt. Shift F10. Still, nothing would allow me to get to changing any passwords. I just reinstalled Windows. No 'control passwords2', 'utilman', etc. Thanks, though. I'm sure it works for some people. @@samanthagriffinv2.08
WOW - GREAT TO KNOW - I already had an Ubuntu USB ready.
Learn something NEW every DAY. THANK YOU - HAVE A NICE DAY 👍👍👍
Does the Ubuntu install the password reset on your main hard drive?
Hi, thank you for your tutorial. You also mentioned another way using utilman. Would you direct me to where I can view this.
@Britec09, can you use Kali linux or any other linuxes to do this besides ubuntu? thank you and great videos. btw. 1 subscriber here!
thank you! this was very useful and worked like a charm.
All this is possible if your drive on windows IS NOT bitlocked or encrypted.... If it is, this WILL NOT work.
Exactly! Well said. These sort of so-called tricks are dangerous without mentioning bitlocker and TPM
@@daveginboav
Even if it's NOT bitlocked or encrypted, it still did not work. Tested twice on the local ID.
Hello Brian. I've forgotten my bios password. How can I reset this, please?
Brian you explain things clear that i understand completely. Can you make a video with Kali Linux on viewing the passwords in SAM file
Think I might of done a video on that, If not, I will make one
@@Britec09 I'll check anyways on your profile but if not can you make a video on that please just for educational purposes
Is it possible that this works only for the password on a Local account, rather than a Microsoft account?
really nice vlog…does cdkey have to be only on fresh install 10
You can use a Windows key on any Windows install, whether fresh or not.
Won't using a Linux USB and accessing System32 etc violate TPM bootlocker?
many people around the world forgot his or her password thank you for another great video
Nice one Brian just what happens when you go to reset your password? I do like videos like this and it was very helpful.
No sure what you mean? Thanks for watching
Hiren boot stil works the best and it's quicker, but I've encountered something after removing with hiren boot. I was signed out of all my accounts when i logged back into Windows is that normal?
many ways to skin a cat
Oh this one looks nice. I've been using WinRE to swap sethc.exe with cmd and reset password on the logon screen
Thank you for sharing
🏆🤗🇺🇲🙏
Our pleasure!
what is the ssd is also encrypted
Thanks, Love saving Dollar Bills!
You're welcome
hiren boot cd can do it easily with out installing any thing in the pc just boot with hiren cd and use password reset utility
I would love to see the way to do it within Windows please Brian.
I type in chntpw -l Sam after pressing enter I get
Chntpw version 1.00 140201
Open hive (sam) failed: no such file or drlirectory , trying read-only.
Open hive (sam) in fallback RO-mode failed: no such file or directory
Chntpw: unable to open/read a hive, exiting,.
Any suggestions?
You provide useful information sir, thank you.
Does this only work for local accounts? Will it work for the Local Administrator account?
Yes, only local accounts
@@Britec09
Even the Local Administrator account?
Serious Sam it's pleased. :)
Thx once again great info& tutorial.
My pleasure!
Will this work with bitlocker?
Great Job
Thanks
Followed directions to the Windows\System32\Config, "command not found" for chntpw -l SAM, any ideas?
follow what I did in video, don't skip any steps. chntpw -l SAM not found is because you never did the first step
Don’t forget it’s a dash and a lowercase L
Doesn't show the open with terminal option on my end
Fantastic! Works with Windows 11?
That was windows 11
1. There's an easier way using the bios...
2. You should tell people how to protect their pc from that hack... So adding a password on the BIOS (for access and startup) should prevent this kind of hack.
No because one can clear the CMOS and that will remove passwords in the BIOS UNLESS they are written to an area in BIOS that is not user accessible. As well one can also remove the drive from the system and install it another board use this method
I'm pretty sure there isn't a way to reset the Windows logon password in the BIOS. It's also quite a bit more difficult to reset a BIOS password (Unless your Mobo has a dedicated BIOS password reset jumper, which most don't) than it is to reset a Windows logon password. It was when I did it awhile ago anyway.
@@GregM Yeah, on most Mobo's clearing the CMOS doesn't reset the BIOS password annoyingly. It makes sense security-wise though of course. Much easier to pull the drive as you say and hope it isn't encrypted. 😂😬
@@Cyba_IT ....and if it's encrypted it's goodbye data !!!!
wow you the man Strelic also works wonders but does this work if it is a Microsoft account,.
side note thank you for everything you do!!!! have a good weekend go bokka!!!!
If it's an MS account you have to log into your MS account and reset the password that way. I'm not sure what happens if the computer you are trying to log onto after resetting the MS password is offline though.
@Cyba_IT issue is most customers lose there log in information sadly.
@@shaunnathanson6905 Yup. Passwords and printers are the two main things that keep me busy every day. 😂
@@Cyba_IT this job we do
What if the account was a domain account? How to reset it?
None of these ridiculous videos work with a domain account or a Microsoft account. Only the local account which the village idiot can reset.
Connect to organization network via LAN or wifi, press ctrl alt del and reset password
can you use this to hack into other people's PC's?
good to know
You can data recovery also
Help 😢😢😢
I followed these steps. Windows password is broken (thanks 🎉) but My harddisk got erased completely 😮😮😮
Eu verei mais tarde.
Tested but did not work. It did not clear the password.
Do you log into Windows locally or though your Microsoft account?
Local ID@@Cyba_IT
my daily driver is ubuntu 22.04.3lts
I really don’t like windows 11 it reminds me of windows 8 and 8.1 and how bad they were cause 10 came out very quickly not long after Microsoft was getting really a ton of negative feedback and oh how much I really loved windows 7 I even still have a older laptop that has vista installed on it and only reason why I bought it is so I can still play certain pc games that will not run on 7 and up to 11. Play station is backwards compatible why can’t windows be that way, example Star Trek Borg and $80 game that I bought and I never got to play it and I have heard that it was a very good game and the pc that I had back in 99 was to weak to play that game and by the time I had the money to buy a new pc the game was outdated couldn’t play it because of windows version that I had and if I remember correctly it was xp not sure but it would not play and now after all theses years I’ve lost the game. Oh well
Bill Gates & co are greedy MFs by not supporting older OSs they are breaching the contract they're meant to honour when you purchased the software by making it obsolete .. this is a criminal & civil offence in the real world and they should be brought to justice through a class action that woukd see them pay out $Billions in damages .. like pfizer has done on more than one occasion ..
Make sure you set your time to the correct time or this won’t blank the windows password
Oh, one more thing, I had to blank both the Administrator password and the user password, and also make sure the time and date were correct in Ubuntu to get this to work for me.
nothing too exciting at all.!
I have only one account:
01f4 Administrator (ADMIN).
When I type chntpw -u 0x1f4 SAM, type 1 and q and y, restart computer I have Windows password
When I type chntpw -u Administrator SAM, type 1 and q and y, restart computer I have Windows password. Chntpw don't remove password.
What is wrong? Tested on Windows 10 21H2 x64
I have the same issue. I got the ok message but my account is password locked
First 😇
Lol you probably his neighbour 😂
@back2basics512 I was using my phone that moment when he uploaded this video 😂
@@akshaycullen ah i see 👌
Why use Linux to reset the password when Windows has easy ways resetting your password built in? I reset mine every six months.
I would imagine that a lot - if not most - users don’t have their windows machines set up that way and/or are reluctant to set up a Microsoft account.
@@Lazdinger I do have a MS account, but I use a local account most of the time.
@@OlettaLiano I commend you for using a local account, my friend.
@@Lazdinger Windows machines are set up this way by default. So most users would find it far easier for example to just use Command Prompt, than all of the hassle involved in the process shown in the video.
@@ObakuZenCenter Ah, I see. I stand corrected, my friend. I was thinking more along the lines of someone setting their pc up so that it prompts them to change their password every user-defined period of time. Although, I assumed that being able to reset a user password using the built-in tools (ie. cmd prompt) would be something that, while useful and available in older versions of windows, MS would deprecate that functionality so it's not so easy for anyone to just break into a machine. My thought was so that they could push (or _encourage_ ) users to register with a MS account by introducing the ability to be able to reset your password with it.
