I tried resetting the password of windows 7 Using chntpw
command in Ubuntu . It showed success. But when I try to login from Windows it does not seem to be changed.
I first used live USB of Ubuntu 11.10 and did Try Ubuntu. Then I did:
sudo apt-get install chntpw
And then:
cd /media/Vista/Windows/System32/config
sudo chntpw -u username sam
I followed these instructions and got success like this:
Hives that have changed:
# Name
0 <sam>
Write hive files? (y/n) [n] : y
0 <sam> – OK .
But when I try to login to windows with blank password, I could not log in.
I also tried changing the password and showed success but I could not log in with that password.
