Cleverly break the Win 2000 password under NTFS

Once a friend brought a notebook, the operating system is Win2000Server, the administrator password is lost, because there are many important files, and each partition is NTFS partition, and no It is possible to reinstall the operating system. I tried it with the following method, the effect is OK, write it out and share it with everyone.

The first step is to download the NTFSDOS Professional software (download address: http://www.winternals.com), download it and install it. After installation, execute the NTFSDOS Professional Boot Disk Wizard program. According to the wizard, you will be prompted to insert two A floppy disk can actually be used in the first one.

The second step is to use the Win98 floppy disk or CD-ROM boot disk to boot the machine to DOS state, then insert the first NTFSDOS floppy disk that has been prepared, execute the Ntfspro.exe file, and it will automatically analyze the current hard disk partition table. If there is NTFS partition information, then the drive letter of each NTFS partition will be listed in turn (if the alarm sounds of the machine at this time, please don't panic, because it may be in the root directory of one of your NTFS partitions at this time) The Chinese directory exists, which may be considered an illegal directory in DOS).

The third step is to clear the Win2000 user password. Enter the drive letter of WinNT in the DOS state, which is generally the C area. Enter the %root%system32config directory (%root% refers to the partition path where WinNT is located), manually delete the SAM file, so that all Win2000 user passwords can be cleared.

In the fourth step, you only need to start the machine hotly, and you can enter Win2000 normally by pressing Enter.
