Windows Password Recovery Windows XP or Vista 7 Password Using Ophcrack
Step 1: Download the ISO File For
Ophcrack Live CD 2.1.0 From the links below: (Choose according to your
operating system)
Windows XP:
Size: 452 MB
Windows Vista or 7:
Size: 532 MB
Step 2: Burn the ISO file to a CD using
burning software. Or you can use a USB Flash Drive to run the program.
Step 3: Insert the CD to your CD/DVD
drive.
Step 4: After booting from the Live CD,
wait for it to load and select Ophcrack VESA mode(Recommended). If you have a
graphics card you can try Graphics Mode.
Step 5: If you have more than one
partition containing the password hashes it will ask you to select one. But
most of the computers will have only one hash partition, so you may not see
this step. Select any partition and try if it asks you as shown below.
Step 6: Wait for Ophcrack to run and find
your password. After getting the password you need,you can simply click exit
even if the progress is not 100%. No need to wait till end.
Here I had set the password as techrena. It took around 1 min 20
sec to find this password.
Step 7: After the process it will ask you
to press any key to exit Ophcrack. Then Type ‘y’ to shutdown the System.
Now start your system. Enter the
password you have found. And that’s it, see how simple it is!
