OphCrack : Password cracking Tool

Ophcrack LiveCD 3.4.0 is a completely self contained, bootable version of Ophcrack 3.4.0 - the easiest and most effective tool that I've ever found to "crack" your forgotten Windows password.

Ophcrack is a free software program that recovers passwords so the first step you'll need to take is to visit Ophcrack's website. When the Ophcrack website loads as shown above, click the Download ophcrack LiveCD button.

Note: Since you obviously can't get into your computer right now because you don't know the password, these first four steps will need to be completed on another computer that you have access to. This other computer will need to have access to the Internet and the capability to burn a disc (like a CD, DVD, etc.).

After clicking the Download ophcrack LiveCD button in the previous step, the webpage above should display.

Click the button corresponding to the version of Windows on the computer you'll be recovering the password on.

In other words, if you've forgotten the password on:

Windows 7: Click on ophcrack Vista/7 LiveCD.

Windows Vista: Click on ophcrack Vista/7 LiveCD.

Windows XP: Click on ophcrack XP LiveCD.

Just to be clear, the operating system of the computer you're using right now doesn't matter. You want to download the appropriate Ophcrack LiveCD version for the computer that you're cracking the password on.

Just follow these simple steps : 

1. Burn the iso file to CD using an image burning software.
2. Put the CD in the disc drive of the computer you want to crack the passwords of.
3. Boot from disc. This shouldn't be to hard. Depending on computer, enter the bios settings and change the boot settings to boot from a disc drive on first boot device.
4. Ophcrack will initiate by itself.
5. The logo screen should appear, at which you should hit enter. Text should scroll down the screen, and eventually you will have a graphical interface pop up, with the one and only window (Ophcrack).
6. Once the system is done, select the user account you wish to recover the password for, and click launch.
7. Depending on the speed of your system, the cracker will go to work, and if it can determine and decrypt your password, it will eventually display it in the "NTPassword" column
