Windows Password Cracking - Brought to you by Stephen

So you “forgot” your password right... Uh huh anyway so this is what you should do, download backtrack (http://www.remote-exploit.org/index.php/BackTrack ) burn it to a  C.D.  Boot to cd, log in username root password toor.  Open up konsole (secound button to the right) and type this command

Samdump2 /mnt/sda1/windows/system32/config/sam key

Yours might look a little different sda1 might be hda1 or whatever partition your windows installation is on


You'll get something that looks like this


those things are LM hashes (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LM_hash ) select the one for the account you want to crack copy and paste to plain-text.info

so for admin I would copy Admin:1006:d0fddb7d64902a72aad3b435b51404ee:569c2f65b83eaeadc308dd465ad278d:::

this into the hashes field and then wait and you done!
