How do I use this program to reset my windows vista password?
  • LindaLinda May 2010
    Okay I installed this software and have my computer booted with it, but the thing is I dont have a clue how to use it to bypass my admin password. I changed the password 2 weeks ago , then before I could get it wrote down had an life and death emergency that took me to the hospital for that 2 week period, so I forgot the new password. I have tried every combination of what I thought it was, but to no avial. Help would be appreciated as I have pictures I need to use to make a video of my 5 yr old neice that is expected to pass away any day.
    Thank you

    Hi Linda --

    Very sorry and saddened to hear your personal situation.

    SliTaz Linux is an operating system, just like Windows. It can understand all manner of file-systems on storage devices.

    If your Windows installation isn't encrypted, you can launch the File Manager and simply click the drive on the left to mount it. Browse to Users/your-name/My Documents etc. etc. and find them.

    There are programs available which can brute-force guess your Windows password, such as Ophcrack; unfortunately I've no experience with them but there should be tutorials all over Google!

    Good luck!

Howdy, Stranger!
