Using LinuxLite to repair Win 7 password
#12
Ok so I installed chntpw... I was getting the same errors as you...

I was able to get it to work...

TYPE the command into terminal - Don't copy and paste... chntpw -l SAM
I copied and pasted = failed
Manually entered = success

Its the "-" copied its the longer typed its the shorter... Why this makes a difference I don't know...

I retyped and tested the below... It did seem to work...
Code:
chntpw -l SAM
Code:
chntpw -u user SAM

I'll toss in some screenshots...

Shots:
