pointers for a good password cracker for win 10

I just got a call from a relative who has managed to forget his Win10
password. In the past I used crackers such as Trinity Rescue Kit to
address this kind of problem, as it's not the first time that a relative
has called about this. (It's not even the first time that this
particular relative has lost his password, and I'm beginning to become
annoyed.) It is the first time that a Win10 system was involved, though.
Will TRK work with Win10? If not, does anyone have any suggestions for
something which will work? Yes, the last time I created a rescue USB
stick. However, that was for his old Win7 machine and he's lost it anyway.

Well, give these a look at:

Hope word wrap doesn't kill these links.
Also I see one of them has a link to Windows 10 resetting.

AlAfter you get the password reset using one of the methods Big Al
suggested make sure to create a new administrative account on the PC
with a password YOU will remember. That way next time all you have to
do is log into "your" account and go into users and change the other
accounts password. Much easier and faster to fix things that way.

I use this for my relatives that keep forgetting the password...

I haven't been in college since 1984. You appear to be a troll. Say
bye, now.

Or, even more likely:

I live in Nigeria. Life is tough here. I need money, and like most of my
countrymen, I'm willing to do whatever it takes to get it. Lots of people
in the USA have lots of money and are easiy hacked.

The poster has at least one other post to this group, on January 2.
He doesn't sound like a Nigerian. So, that's much less likely.
Anybody can need a Windows password cracker.

Oddly enough... This is (in my view) the only post to this group
with this ID. Perhaps it is projecting...

I haven't been in college since 1984. You appear to be a troll. Say
bye, now.

So do you, especially since I cannot find any prior posts by your nym.
Nymshifters are also trolls. This is not a warez, cracking, pirating,
or hacking newsgroup. There are newsgroups for those nefarious
activities. No one here knows if your story is true. Take out all the
backstory and your post condenses to:

I want to break into a Win10 computer. Will TRK work?

The rest just sounds a lot like a sob story in a 419 Nigerian scam:
instead of money, you are pleading for a hacking tip.

Once you get your relative back up, set a password hint that even this,
um, mentally challenged user can figure out.

You can flatten passwords.

Or, you can "crack" passwords.

The complexity of each, is quite different.

*******

Cracking passwords, is when you want to lock out the dude who
owns the account. You can then change his password, and he has
to do something about it.

To crack a Windows password, first you have to get the two halves
of where the encrypted password is stored, into the correct format.
Then, there is likely to be a tool on Kali for it. You can
also use Rainbow Tables on something like the WinXP one.

I never did get a chance to test out the recipe I found for
that kind of cracking. Now, I have a video card that might
be useful for brute forcing. (Might only take three or four days).
People who do this for a living, keep eight video cards
in a box, to do it.

*******

If you're working in coordination with the owner of the machine,
then "flattening" the password is the thing to do. The owner
can then create a password afterwards, that he or she can remember.

And this is pretty easy, because Windows has a couple of exploits,
where you replace "osk.exe" with "cmd.exe", and the Command Prompt
window that pops up, runs as root. From there, you can do any
password resets you need to do.

OK, this one uses "utilman.exe", but there's another one that
replaces OSK.exe to get in...

https://www.howtogeek.com/222262/how...in-windows-10/

The idea is, if a person has physical access to the machine, and
as long as the file system isn't buggered too bad where the files
to move/link aren't too heavily protected (Microsoft has been
making a royal mess of NTFS...), then you can pull off one of the
two available hacks, and "instantly run as administrator".

You can try this to see who you are, when Command Prompt appears.

whoami /user /priv

I would recommend this latter option. While it would have been
fun to get my new video card, to crack a password, I just
never seem to get around to running it.

The design intent in Windows, is "never to lose access to
effective Administrator". That's why they leave holes in it,
so there are "fewer tech support phone calls". It's not an accident
that it works this way. Although the mess they're making of NTFS,
is making it harder to do these from Linux (a Windows emergency
boot CD or installer DVD might be an alternative for moving
or copying).

If you have content you don't want to share with others, *encrypt*.
Accounts mean diddly on these systems. Actually cracking
the password, that's a test of your ability to follow a
recipe "with a few more steps". Cracking is when you don't
want people to know you've been there, or your diabolical plan
is to change the password and lock the goof out.
