Great open-source utility to recover lost Windows account passwords or to break into a locked machine.
In some cases, you can use special tools that reset your forgotten password (which I'll write about in my up-coming posts..). but there are cases, where you don't want to risk harming the system even more, or where you must know the original password- especially if your NTFS file-system is encrypted using EFS. Another case could be where you have a local-profile of a user and you want to be able to log in to it to recover specific settings of the user.
- No installation necessary
- No admin password necessary
- All you need is the ability to boot from a CD !
It can crack passwords from a local or remote SAM file of Windows 2000/XP and even Vista!
Use it for troubleshooting and testing purposes only! ;-)
Happy Mother's Day Everyone!
