The program appears to work exactly as expected, and doesn’t display any errors, and acts like it’s done everything properly when blanking or changing a password. 4) After the PCUnlocker screen appears, select the Reset Local Admin/User Password mode, Select the Windows SAM registry file for your Windows 10 installation, select the user account whose password you need to reset, and then click the Reset Password button to reset the password.

It is a windows PE environment that has a lot of troubleshooting tools. For PC repair, a good utility is called Hirens Boot CD. Kalie also has loads of pentesting tools. As mentioned, use the GUI to navigate to the SAM file, and open the location in the terminal, then all you commands will run in that location, and you will just need to specify SAM a couple of times. WHile CHNTPW is a command-line utility, it is very easy to use. Runing it on kali, the System drive will have a shortcut on the desktop, so you can quickly identify the correct drive, and navigate to the same file, and right click "open terminal here" much easier. You can install CHNTPW as a standalone tool on a USB drive, but I have rarely seen success using it this way, and you need to us fdisk to figure out the system drive. Shut the PC down, boot to Kalie, crack password with CHNTPW (preinstalled on Kali) I have a Kali Linux image on a USB, and on a Ventoy Drive.
