If the registry is blocked through windows, but you can boot from a livecd, how might you go about recovering the hashes out of the sam file? Are there any tools for linux? Can I do it manually if I mount the Hard drive? I mannually pulled the sam file, but don’t know what else to do. On my windows I have created rainbow tables ready to crack the passwords.
I would prefer not to reset passwords. I want to know the importance of Bios and if A livecd could pull hashes on one computer, giving access to all the computers admin. user.
