Reset Windows Administrator Login

The following is a walkthrough of using the CD to reset an administrator password.

You can download the ISO here:
https://pogostick.net/~pnh/ntpasswd/walkthrough.html

Insert the CD and convince your BIOS that it should boot from it. How to boot from a CD varies from computer make to computer make, so I cannot help you much. Some BIOS shows a boot device select menu if you press ESC, F8, F11 or F12 or something like that during the self test. (some even tell you on the screen what to press)
If it boots, you should see this:

Press enter to boot, or give linux kernel boot options first if needed.
Some that I have to use once in a while:
boot nousb - to turn off USB if not used and it causes problems
boot irqpoll - if some drivers hang with irq problem messages
boot nodrivers - skip automatic disk driver loading

boot:
Usually just press enter here. If you have linux knowledge, you can tweak kernel options if you need/like.
Then it boots and outputs a lot of kernel messages about your hardware and such.. most if not all are nothing to worry about.

*************************************************************************

=========================================================
There are several steps to go through:
- Disk select with optional loading of disk drivers
- PATH select, where are the Windows systems files stored
- File-select, what parts of registry we need
- Then finally the password change or registry edit itself
- If changes were made, write them back to disk

DON'T PANIC! Usually the defaults are OK, just press enter
all the way through the questions

=========================================================
¤ Step ONE: Select disk where the Windows installation is
=========================================================

Disks:
Disk /dev/sda: 42.9 GB, 42949672960 bytes

Candidate Windows partitions found:
1 : /dev/sda1 40958MB BOOT

Here it has found one disk with one partition

Please select partition by number or
q = quit
d = automatically start disk drivers
m = manually select disk drivers to load
f = fetch additional drivers from floppy / usb
a = show all partitions found
l = show propbable Windows (NTFS) partitions only
Select: [1]

Here you select one of the partitions listed above (in this case there is only one) or one of the letters from the menu. (You want to select the option for the drive where the C:\Windows folder is located)
Here we only have one partition, so we just press enter to select it.

Selected 1

Mounting from /dev/sda1, with filesystem type NTFS

NTFS volume version 3.1.

It was an NTFS filesystem, and it mounted successfully.

=========================================================
¤ Step TWO: Select PATH and registry files
=========================================================
What is the path to the registry directory? (relative to windows disk)
[WINDOWS/system32/config] :

The registry is usually system32/config under WINDOWS or WINNT directory, depending on the windows version (and it may be changed during installation).
If the correct partition has been selected, the default prompt will be adjusted to match if it can find one of the usual variants.
We accept the defaults.. and get a (bit filtered) directory listing showing most of the interesting registry files

-rw------- 2 0 0 6815744 Sep 23 12:33 COMPONENTS

drwx------ 1 0 0 4096 Nov 2 2006 TxR
drwx------ 1 0 0 4096 Feb 27 2007 systemprofile

Select which part of registry to load, use predefined choices
or list the files with space as delimiter
1 - Password reset [sam system security]
2 - RecoveryConsole parameters [software]
q - quit - return to previous
[1] :

Choice 1 is for password edit, most used.
But if you wish, you can load any of the files (just enter it's name) and do manual registry edit on them.
But here, we select 1 for password edit, some files are copied around into memory and the edit application is invoked.

Selected files: sam system security
Copying sam system security to /tmp

=========================================================
¤ Step THREE: Password or registry edit

What to do? [1] ->

This demo shows selection 1 for password edit.
We continue our quest to change our "admin" users password..

===== chntpw Edit User Info & Passwords ====

| RID -|---------- Username ------------| Admin? |- Lock? --|
| 03e8 | admin | ADMIN | |
| 01f4 | Administrator | ADMIN | dis/lock |

| 03ea | jalla1 | ADMIN | *BLANK* |
| 03eb | jalla2 | | *BLANK* |
| 03e9 | petro | ADMIN | *BLANK* |

This is a list of all local users on the machine. You may see more users here than in the overly user-friendly control panel, for example XP has some help and support built in users.
The users marked "ADMIN" are members of the administrators group, which means they have admin rights, if you can login to one of them you can get control of the machine.
The built in (at install time in all windows versions) administrator is always RID 01f4. This example is from Vista, and Vista by default has this locked down (the installer instead asks and makes another user the regular use administrator, in this case RID 03e8)
The "lock?" column show if the user account is disabled or locked out (due to many logon attempts for example) or BLANK if the password seems to be blank.
We select to edit the "admin" user (select an account that has administrative rights)

Select: ! - quit, . - list users, 0x - User with RID (hex)
or simply enter the username to change: [Administrator] admin

RID : 1000 [03e8]
Username: admin
fullname:
comment :
homedir :

User is member of 1 groups:
00000220 = Administrators (which has 4 members)

Group 220 is THE BOSS GROUP! :)

Account bits: 0x0214 =
[ ] Disabled | [ ] Homedir req. | [X] Passwd not req. |
[ ] Temp. duplicate | [X] Normal account | [ ] NMS account |
[ ] Domain trust ac | [ ] Wks trust act. | [ ] Srv trust act |
[X] Pwd don't expir | [ ] Auto lockout | [ ] (unknown 0x08) |
[ ] (unknown 0x10) | [ ] (unknown 0x20) | [ ] (unknown 0x40) |

Failed login count: 0, while max tries is: 0
Total login count: 3

Some status info, user is locked out if "Disabled" is set or "Failed login count" is larger than "max tries" policy setting. This user is not locked in any way. The lockout can be reset with option 4 below.

- - - - User Edit Menu:
1 - Clear (blank) user password
2 - Edit (set new) user password (careful with this on XP or Vista)
3 - Promote user (make user an administrator)
(4 - Unlock and enable user account) [seems unlocked already]
q - Quit editing user, back to user select
Select: [q] > 1
Password cleared!

Here we just reset/clear/blank the password. So enter 1 onto the keyboard and press enter.

Select: ! - quit, . - list users, 0x - User with RID (hex)
or simply enter the username to change: [Administrator] !

Exclamation point ! quits out (it's SHIFT 1 on the US keyboard layout used on the boot CD)
Then we get back to the main menu, and select to quit..

This error message you can ignore It is from the shell telling it cannot do "job control" which means it cannot handle CTRL-C etc. It has nothing to do with your password reset did not work. That is caused by a lot of other things.
