vista password reset
Yes let me begin by I work at a pawn shop... needless to say i run into alot of computers with passwords. most are easy enough for me to get around even xp pro. but i now have a machine with vista on it and i no longer have any hair to pull out. I have a copy of te 2 newest versions of ophcrack but when they run the lmhashes say empty under passwords it then tells me to crack remaining with nthashes but I dont have any.. please not that ophcrack is a linux gui and I avoided linux like it was the plague in college ... wait it is the plague... can anyone help me??/

I suppose the fact that you work at a pawnshop, the idea has never crossed your mind that these computers just MIGHT be stolen??????????????

There could always be a policy of getting the passwords from the "owners" when they bring them in to begin with .
