Ophcrack - Windows password cracker

 For Educational purpose only:
Ophcrack is a Windows password cracker using rainbow tables.
It recovers 99.9% of alphanumeric passwords in seconds.

What do you need:
1. Physical contact with the computer.
2. CD or USB stick with Ophcrack on it.
3. The computer must be able to boot from CD or USB stick (almost never a problem).
(you don't need limited user access or anything else)

How to use:
(First download the image file from the provided link, and burn it to a CD.)
After you have the Ophcrack Live CD:
1. Make the computer you wanna crack in to boot from CD. For those who don't know how, just enter into the BIOS and search for a boot priority, just change the sequence to boot from CD first, save changes and exit.(if you don't know how to access the BIOS search google for it, also google may help with the boot priority).
2. Enter the CD and reboot. It will boot up to linux, and you'll be able to handle it from there. It might ask you 'which partition' you wanna scan, and everything else will be done by itself. It will find the password for every user on that disk partition.
3. Have fun!;)
