We will show you how to hack Windows using a SAM file. This procedure may take a while, but it is effective.

Steps

1. 1 Well, first of all, you must have an understanding of how all passwords are stored. Firstly, when you enter a password, it becomes encrypted and very long, beyond recognition. The password is stored in a file called "SAM".
2. 2 Where can you find this SAM file? Well, to put it simply, it's here: Windows / system32 / config / SAM.But, you don't go there yet! It becomes locked for all accounts when the computer starts up. The file can also be found in the registry under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE -> SAM.
3. 3 If the file is locked, how can you open it? The easiest way is to switch to another operating system such as Linux and copy the file. It's easy. You can also use a program called "pwdump2" to help you retrieve the file.
4. 4 You now have the file, but the password is encrypted! We move on to the fun part, password cracking. There are numerous programs that do this, one of the best programs is called Cain and can be downloaded from www (dot) oxid (dot) it / cain (dot) html.
5. 5 The program will give you a password and you're done!
6. 6 Another trick that can be used to enter passwords directly into a SAM file.
7. 7 The easiest way to access the password is to use a tool called "chntpw" to change the password in the SAM file after backing up using Linux.
8. 8 Ready! Now you know how to crack passwords.
