In the Windows Vista local administrator password cracking article, we introduced how to use elcom soft's proactive password Auditor (PPA) to retrieve the lost or forgotten Windows Vista local administrator password. However, relatively speaking, PPA cracking requires you to prepare a dictionary in advance. Otherwise, you can only use brute-force cracking, which is not guaranteed in terms of time and efficiency, however, creating a valid password dictionary seems to require a higher level for most common users, which restricts the use of PPA to many extent.

Recently, a website named login Recovery provides services to help users retrieve Windows Vista login users and passwords, the biggest advantage is that it reduces the user operation level requirements during the user name and password recovery process, and does not need to update the system settings.

In addition to Windows Vista, this service also supports a variety of Windows systems, including Windows NT, Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows 2003, and Windows Longhorn server. Of course, only the local user and password in the system can be retrieved, and the network user storing the corresponding information on the domain controller is invalid.

Retrieve the username and password in Windows Vista

Download the image.exe file from a computer that can access the Internet;

Use this file to create a recovery Boot Disk: insert it into a soft disk and run image.exe;

Use the boot disk to start the computer with the user name and password to be restored (you may need to set BIOS to enable the system to start from a floppy disk );

During the boot process, files on the floppy disk will run automatically, and corresponding information will be displayed on the screen. After about two minutes, the system will automatically shut down. Note: You need to enable write protection for this floppy disk. In this process, the username and password information in the system will be written to the floppy disk;

Insert this floppy disk into a computer that can access the Internet, access the login recovery page, upload the "Upload. txt" file (in step 3) in the floppy disk, and enter your email address;

Within a few minutes, you will receive a confirmation email informing you that your request is being processed in the queue;

After the attack is completed, the system will receive a response email, including not only the local administrator account and password, but also all other users and passwords in the system.

For free users, the login recovery result is provided within 48 hours. If you want to get the result immediately, you can consider the login recovery billing service, but it is not cheap and requires a 12.95 renewal, however, the time can be limited to 10 minutes.

In addition, login logs can only be used to manually copy the information displayed on the screen on a computer without a soft drive, which is not realistic in many cases, especially when multiple users exist in a multi-system or system installed in a PC.
