If you’ve lost your Windows password and you’re locked out of your computer, you can use the Ophcrack LiveCD to recover your password(s). This tutorial will guide you through doing just that.
- Start by downloading the Ophcrack Live CD. This is the longest part of the entire process, as it’s about 455MB.
- Burn the .iso file to CD. If you need help creating a boot CD from the .iso file, see this tutorial.
- After you’ve burned the .iso, set your computer to boot from your CD/DVD drive (make sure the CD is in the drive).
- You’ll be presented with the Ophcrack LiveCD menu. Leave the default selected and hit enter on your keyboard (or just wait 5 seconds for it to automatically boot).
- Slax, the version of Linux that is packaged with Ophcrack, will start up.
- Ophcrack will start on its own, and the passwords for each of your Windows users will be cracked and displayed on screen.
- Write down the password(s), remove the CD from your CD/DVD drive and restart your computer. Now you can log in to Windows again.

Great. But do this work with all versions of windows??
Segui os passos, mas vejo que o tutorial está incompleto. Entre os itens 5 e 6 não existe nenhuma ação? Como faço para chegar na tela onde encontram-se os usuários e as respectivas senhas?
Por favor, completem esse tutorial.
When I run Ophcrack on my computer it says this
Atapi 40x dvd rom drive
uniform cd-rom driver devision 3.2
lost interrut
I have no clue what this means. If you have any ideas on how to fix it would be great! Thanks!
