For computers that don't have a CD/DVD drive, or it's been disabled, you can use U Netbootin. You will need a flash drive for it to work.

NOTE: Some computers will have the BIOS password protected. This means that you can't boot via CD or USB.

...ummm i have used this once before and it worked fine but now its not working, and i really need it for some reason the password on my computer jsut randomly changed by its self. I tried using this but it said something out false data, but it also didnt work on the computer im using now (i used this on the computer im using now and it worked perfect before) so it think i did it wrong, can you give better instructions on how to do this? I ahve both a CD-Rom and a USB drive and i tried booting from both. Thank You. also do you have any clue what could change my password with out me knowing it?

I have to ask... What video editing software are you using? Is it Adobe Premiere?

Jun 23, 2008. 2:53 PMfwjs28 says:

i've downloaded this and popped it onto a winblows 2000 machine(says it works on the website) and it goes through a bunch of boot stuff then turns itself off.....

Jun 20, 2008. 7:45 PMAlpha-Critik says:

Please note that if you download Ophcrack Live then you have to pikey the proper software of the disk. Put the disk in after boot-up, and explore it. You'll find Ophcrack and all the proper rainbow tables associated with it.

It is a heck of a lot quicker to start the computer in safe mode (with command prompt) and go in as the administrator, change anyone's password through command prompt.

Apr 24, 2008. 10:49 AMdancereaper says:

you cant just do it that easely how u gonna get the admin password huh?. my school has an admin and a administrator acc u have to log onto 1 of them to get in

Feb 27, 2008. 7:35 PMbranedge (author) says:

you have to know the admin password for this...

Feb 27, 2008. 6:18 PMSpike002 says:

lol yaah dude, or even easier, you can just launch command prompt from any user, type in: "net user" find the user you want to change the password for, and then simply type: "net user (user name) *" itll then ask you for the password you want it to be. and yr done!

May 27, 2008. 5:21 PMArbitror says:

Feb 28, 2008. 1:35 PMdarth2o says:

Yes, this was what I was talking about, no old password needed.

Feb 27, 2008. 7:36 PMbranedge (author) says:

Feb 28, 2008. 12:04 PMgamer says:

Mar 24, 2008. 6:43 AMbranedge (author) says:

reboot your pc go into your bios set your pc to boot from your cd rom. put the cd in the drive reboot your pc and ophcrack should automatically start.

Feb 27, 2008. 3:17 PMgamer says:

what happens if you dont have the password needed to go into the BIOS?

Feb 27, 2008. 3:36 PMBorisSpencer says:

There'll be a jumper on the motherboard that clears the Bios password.
