Note: This tutorial is for fun and please don’t make use of this tutorial for harming anyone

Here’s a simple way to hack a Windows administrator password using Linux. You will only need a Live CD, and for this example, we will utilize Ubuntu.

Boot into the system Which you want to reset by using the LIVE CD:

1. Install a program called chntpw

$ sudo apt-get install chntpw

2. After successfully installing chntpw, you have to access the Windows NTFS partition by mounting it and allowing read/write support.

3. After that, use your command line skills by navigating to WINDOWS/system32/config

4. Once inside the config directory, issue this command:

$ sudo chntpw SAM

5. A long display of information will follow. Just ignore them.

6. Once you are prompted to reset the password, it is recommended to leave the password blank with an asterisk (*).

7. Reboot, and you can now login to Windows with full administrative access.
