Thanks avj


I tried what you suggested with no luck - tried the 2nd one with my user name

Code:

colin@colin-NC110:/media/sda1/Windows/System32/config$ chntpw –l SAM
chntpw version 0.99.6 110511 , (c) Petter N Hagen
openHive(–l) failed: No such file or directory, trying read-only
openHive(–l) in fallback RO-mode failed: No such file or directory
Unable to open/read a hive, exiting..




colin@colin-NC110:/media/sda1/Windows/System32/config$ chntpw –u colin SAM
chntpw version 0.99.6 110511 , (c) Petter N Hagen
openHive(–u) failed: No such file or directory, trying read-only
openHive(–u) in fallback RO-mode failed: No such file or directory
