Windows password hack 3

In this third method you need a software named Ophcrack. There are many software available for cracking windows password. But I always prefer this one. Because it never ask you to do anything. It will simply give the password in your hand.

Ophcrack is a freely available opensource software. You can download it here. The software itself is very small one. But it needs some dictionary to crack. Those will be more weight. These dictionaries are the heart of this attack. They have a table consisting all permutations of all keyboard characters and their corresponding hashes. Actually these hashes will be compared with the password hash present in the SAM file. If a match found, the equallent word will be returned. This is known as dictionary attack.

To crack any Windows password, 

  • Download Ophcrack as an ISO file. Download it here.
  • Now write it in a CD or make your USB drive bootable with Ophcrack. Know how to make a USB bootable here
  • And boot the Windows machine with Ophcrack.
  • Wait till boot complete. You will have the password in minutes.
But the problem here is, your attack is limited with the dictionary you use. The dictionaries that are permutation of alphabet are free to download. But those consisting special character are not free. And also you have to download them. Read next post for a better hack.
