Click on any of the images in this chntpw guide to see them full size.
1. Mount the windows partition. If you don’t know what device it is on, you can use the cfdisk
command and it will tell you the device. The device should look something like “/dev/sda1.”
Mount the partition using the mount command
mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda1 /mnt/windows
2. Now, to make it a little easier, go ahead and switch to the location of the Windows Sam file and
other hive files.
Cd /mnt/WINDOWS/system32/config
3. Type chntpw -h to familiarize yourself with the different options and usage of chntpw. If you like,
you can actually use chntpw by giving it the appropriate option, but I like to use interactive mode,
which makes it a little easier.
In addition to any options, you also have to give chntpw the location of the windows sam file,
which stores the passwords, or the registry hives that you want to edit, which should all be in the
config folder(Instead of WINDOWS, NT uses WINNT.)
