chntpw works in Frankenstein (w8)
Hi All,
I got to a customer's site with Frankenstein (W8.1). She had a single web account and she did not know the password. This was unusual as I was the one who originally created her a local account without a password (this is a no security installation). She had no web account(s). What I found was a single web account with a weird hotmail address. We tried all her favorite password. No joy. She had no idea how this all transpired. Anyway, I have a Fedora Live USB stick I use for such occupations with "chntpw" and directions installed on it. http://www.passwordunlocker.com/know...x-live-cd.html I used chntpw to unlock her Administrators account, recovered her files from her original local account name in C:\users\ (which was still there), created a new local account, transfered her files back, and nuked the web account. So, it is verified that chntpw does work in Frankie. I have yet to test it in Son-of-Frankenstein (W-Nein, oops, W10). HTH someone else, -T |
