3rd Stage Opening Windows With Ubuntu Password.

Lost is a common
problem faced by humans. If you
forget your Windows login
password, no way to recover it
using the Ubuntu Linux operating
system.

The first thing to do is create a
Live CD or Live USB stick Ubuntu
Linux. Ubuntu Live will be used to
boot into the system and perform
the procedures required to
dismantle the Windows password
earlier.

The easiest way to do that is by
downloading UNetbootin and run
it. This simple application will
download the selected Ubuntu
version and install on the flash that
you prepared.

The second stage is to install
Open Source utility called chntpw.
This is done from Ubuntu by
running Synaptic Package Manager.

To be able to get chntpw, Synaptic
Package Manager should be directed
to look at storage applications
Universe. This can be done by
clicking the Settings menu>
Repositories in Synaptic window.
Then, check the option
'Community-maintained Open
Source software (universe) "and
click Close.

After that, click the Reload button
and Synaptic will download the
latest package information from the
Universe. When finished, type
chntpw on the Quick Search box.

If it appears, check the box on the
side chnptw writing, choose 'Mark
for Installation'. Then click Apply to
install it.

The third stage is to change the
Windows password with chntpw.

1. Mount the hard disk / drive that
contains your Windows installation
2. Open the hard drive it (click on
Places) and record labels drive that
appears on the menu bar window
file browser
3. Open a Terminal window
(Applications> Accessories>
Terminal)
4. Type the following command in
Terminal:
cd / media
ls
5. Type: cd [label hard drive that
you noted earlier]
6. type: cd WINDOWS/system32/
config
7. To change the Administrator
password, type the command:
sudo chntpw SAM
8. You will see several commands
that you can choose, the command
is safest to create a password to be
blank. Do this by pressing the
number '1 ', then press' y' to
confirm
9. Select '2 'to change the password
to a particular word, but this has a
greater risk of error
10. To change the passwords of
other users (non-administrator),
type the following command (from
Terminal): sudo chntpw-u [user
name] SAM
