am trying tosort a vista pc that the owner has forgot admin password
i have tried hirens cd 10.1 and ophcrack
no joy with hirens at all
so i got ophcrack and i get ' No partition containing hashes found '
i have been following this part of a tut i found ' If your partition is already mounted, it means that ophcrack was not able to find your Windows directory. So start ophcrack by entering the command "ophcrack" and use the "Load from encrypted SAM" menu entry to navigate to your /mnt/.../*Windows directory*/system32/config directory.' but cannot find - *Windows directory*/system32/config directory - i find mnt but not the rest
any ideas as this is starting to get on my t))s and i feel like a window getting smashed with a pc lol
thanks in advance
