Salix

About Salix

Salix is a GNU/Linux distribution based on Slackware that is simple, fast and easy to use, with stability being a primary goal. Salix is also fully backwards compatible with Slackware, so Slackware users can benefit from Salix repositories, which they can use as an "extra" quality source of software for their favorite distribution. Like a bonsai, Salix is small, light & the product of infinite care.

Features

  • one application per task on the installation ISO
  • fully backwards compatible with Slackware
  • optimized for desktop usage
  • high quality package repositories with dependency support
  • incredibly fast package tools
  • simple & fully localized system administration tools
  • nice artwork
  • supports 32-bit and 64-bit architectures

Installation

The installation is text dialog based, but easy to navigate and complete. It is also very fast; a "full" mode installation will take less than 5 minutes on any modern PC.
Salix has three different modes of installation:
  1. Full: Everything that is included in the iso is installed. That includes a complete desktop environment and a complete selection of applications that matches the respective environment, always following the "one application per task" rationale.
  2. Basic: This installs only a basic desktop environment, with very few extra applications installed on top, such as a web browser and the gslapt package manager. Ideal for advanced users that would like to install a lightweight desktop environment and add their own choice of applications.
  3. Core: Only the minimum essentials for a console system to start are included. A graphical environment is not provided. This is ideal if you are an experienced user and want to customize your installation for any specific purpose, such as a web server, file server etc.
All three installation modes come with a complete development environment, so users don't need to add anything to start developing and compiling applications.

 >>>DOWNLOAD>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>


Salix is available in several editions, each built around and focused on a different Desktop Environment or Window Manager. In this page, you can find iso images forXfce, KDE and Ratpoison editions of Salix.
Older releases are available through the Salix project page at Sourceforge.
If instead of the iso images, you are looking for the packages that are included in the Salix repositories, you can download them through one of our repository mirrors.
The iso images that are available for download here are not Live images. They boot into the standard Salix installer, which is a text-mode dialog-based installer.

Offline registry tools and password resetter


Advanced users page

Here are the source code and binary downloads (see bottom of page) for the registry tools, along with documentation and release history.
This page is aimed at developers, tooldisk intergators, and system technicians. If you just need to use the tool to reset a password on your system, see the bootdisk download page.

Current features of the sam and registry tools and library

Library:
  • Open several hives at once (they are however not linked in path-wise)
  • Add and remove keys (still not rename, sorry)
  • Add and remove values of any type. (no rename here either)
  • Read data in values
  • Put data into values.
  • (Recursive) iterate / list keys, get values types etc.
  • Recursive delete of keys
  • Read key "class" field
  • Expansion of the hive file now supported so you can add or import as much as you like!
  • Currently just ignores security descriptors in the registry.
  • Supports registry hives with different key indexing, so it covers all versions from NT3.51 to Win7/Win8.1 32/64bit and 2012 server.
  • Can list and change (add / remove) local users in local groups
  • Can list and reset passwords
Features of the tools (based on the library):
  • Simple interactive registry edit (command based), including hex edit of value data in unsupported value types.
  • Export of registry (or parts of it) to .reg file readable by Windows regedit.exe.
  • Import .reg file now in seemingly working condition. Will read files from regedit.exe, usually without changes. But currently slow.
  • Password reset, password change (partial)
  • User unlock
  • User promotion (add to admin group 0x220. Now working!)
  • Do scripted or interactive edit of user in group memberships
  • Extract product key
  • Some syskey reset actions (NT4/2k/XP), but very risky.
  • .. and a lot of information and debug info for those who are interested.


News

This is news summary for the library and tools. Please see source and HISTORY.txt for more details.
2014-02-01 - New major features!
  • New command line tools, both have script parsable output if needed
    • samusrgrp : group membership list / edit
    • sampasswd : user list and password reset
  • The commands uses new library functions (libsam.c) for adding and removing users from local groups (group membership), including lower lever SID handling functions.
  • Known BUG: If a user is member of no (0) groups, adding it to a group often crashes my program
  • Interactive chntpw program changed a bit to then do groups, too. Also easier to quit (more logical looping / menu selections)
  • Also note that some command line parameters for chntpw has changed, and it may be better to use sampasswd or samusrgrp in many "automatic" situations.
  • Fixed a few smaller issues by myself
  • Jacky To got two bugs, one nasty one that could thrash the hive when deleting bottom value in a key, and problem with uninitialized pointers when expanding the hive (would lead to a crash, no corruption I think). Both bugs fixed I hope.
  • Steven Shiau submitted a patch making the scripting easier, I decided to go for completely new commands instead. But thank you to all who suggested the same.
  • Also thanks to David Collett for catching and fixing bug in REG_MULTI_SZ editing.
2011-05-09
  • Hive expansion! Library now does hive file expansion by default if needed to when adding keys/values (but you can turn it off, safe mode). If expansion occured, you will get a warning when writing back.
  • .reg file import! Will read files from regedit.exe in most cases (UTF-16) but can miss on some international characters. Also reads "latin" (8 bit) files.
  • There were a lot of goofs by me in the add/delete key and value handling, which made windows complain and lose data. Hope I managed to fix them.
  • Also, found out more about how Windows does things, for example more details of empty name (default) value, zero-size values, large values (gets split internally) and other special cases.
  • Did quite a lot of testing by importing for example the SOFTWARE\Classes tree with regedit.exe and importing it again into the DEFAULT hive with my tool, then ask windows to "Load hive" (in regedit.exe). If it does not complain in the event log, it is good. (Also, seems like windows has gotten better at not bluescreening on a corrupt registry hive, did not get a single one when doing this with pretty messed up hives in win7 and Vista)
  • Be aware that .reg import is currently very slow, since I messed up the design for the string reading badly, and also the add routines is not exactly optimized. Consider it a proof of concept! Example: Import of SOFTWARE\Microsoft tree (exported by regedit.exe) into the small DEFAULT hive took more than 10 minutes on a pretty fast machine. Especially hex data is slow (one byte at a time.. lazy me..)
  • WARNING: .reg file import does not do much sanity checking of the input .reg file. It will either crash during import or mess up the registry if the .reg file is bad.
  • This version has no significant changes in the password (reset) handling part of the tools.
  • On TODO list for some of the next version: Windows like API. Faster .reg import. Fix bugs!
2010-06-27
  • Patches from Frediano Ziglio adding or fixing:
  • - buffer overflow in export_subkey printing keyname
  • - reg export: some quoting error (name and string values must be quoted)
  • - adding support for wide character encoding in keys and value names
  • - and some other bugs fixed
  • New function from from Aleksander Wojdyga to decode Digital Product ID. Now in registry editor, may be moved later. example dpi \Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\DigitalProductId
  • Syskey menu selection has been removed from text, but can still be selected as number 2. So that people stop emailing me when it bombs out.
  • Some other minor tweaks
2009-12-01
  • New site, official URL is now: http://pogostick.net/~pnh/ntpasswd/
  • All releases still contains old mail address, please note NEW mailaddress is pnh@pogostick.net. Old mailaddress vil be invalid after January 1st 2010.
  • No new release, 2008-08-02 is still newest. Hope to release new early 2010.
  • Some of the newest releases (from 2008) seems to be working (more or less) on Windows 7 without any changes.
2008-08-02 Released a CD, but no changes to registry edit / password handling, chntpw etc.
2008-05-26
  • Fixed nasty bug which skipped first indirect index table when deleting keys. Usually threw recusive delete into a endless loop.
  • Type QWORD now recongnized. Believe it is from XP and newer systems.
  • Library functions accepting a path now has flag to say if search should be exact or on first match (partial string) basis.
  • Export to .reg file by Leo von Klenze (Thank you!), expanded to handle more types by me.
  • 64 bit compatible patch by Mike Doty, via Alon Bar-Lev, http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=185411
2007-09-27
  • Fixed hang in bootdisk/CD
  • Also fixed a script crash in the floppy.
2007-09-26
  • User promotion now official! You can add a user into the administrator group, making the user an administrator!
  • Password edit has cosmetical changes / menu control
  • Some verbosity / text info has changed.
  • A few smaller bugfixes
  • Bootfloppy release is back. Better driver handling. Better NTFS handling.
2007-04-09 (guess it is 10 year anniversary!)
  • Now with Vista support! 32 & 64 bit. (NTFS filesystem driver now supports Vista)
  • CD has better driver support, changed quite a bit.
  • Mostly cosmetical changes to "chntpw" program.
  • Main password reset and regedit (chntpw + ntreg) code now made GPL licensed, for those of you who care. Source available at the source page.
2006-04-06, release 060213
  • Driver updates only, see download page for more info.
2005-03-03, release 050303
  • Driver updates only, see download page for more info.
2004-12-05, release 041205
  • New and improved driver probe on disk, now with probe based on PCI info. The CD/floppy should now work much better for SATA and other drivers needing multiple driver modules.
  • Fixed a small bug causing crashes when loading some hives (end pointer of last page seems to be way off sometimes). Thanks to Michael Rothstein for providing a hive file with this "weirdness"
2004-11-01 (no new release)
  • Added some info about "changes not taking effect" to the FAQ
2004-08-18, release 040818
  • Fixed critical bugs in regedit hive allocation routines, earlier versions may corrupt the hive when adding, expanding or deleting keys or values. Earlier version should be safe for password edit usually.
  • Added edit support for large keys (typically more than 500 subkeys), this happens often i SOFTWARE\Classes. As a bi-effect there is now full support for writing NT 3.51 registry, too. (it's related to key indices and indirect indices if many subkeys)
  • Regedit string input bugfix. Often crashed earlier. Several people reported this, with some suggestions. It's still ugly, however :/
  • Regedit recursive key delete 'rdel' added. It is rather slow however, and may hang or crash if given illegal key names. It also may produce some debug output in some situations.
  • Regedit 'hex' command to dump value in hex no matter what type the value is.
  • Regedit 'ck' command to dump class data of key, if it has any. (most keys does not have class data). Keys with classes are marked with * in the key listings. No edit of it yet.
  • Some bugs fixed in hive file load/save, and error handling. Thanks for reports from several people on this.
  • Generally NO CHANGES to password edit stuff.
2004-08-09: IN VERSION 0401xx AND EARLIER: Some rather serious bugs have been discovered in the allocation routines, which are used when adding or deleting values or keys in the registry editor. In best case, they leak space, in worst case, it may corrupt the file.
NOTE: This does not generally affect password changing, since password reset just overwrites a few bytes in place, it does not reallocate space.
SUMMARY: Password edit OK. Regedit may not be. Expect new version out within a week or so.
2004-01-16, release 040116
  • Completely new bootdisk system! Hopefully a bit easier to understand and run through.
  • Support for easy change of RecoveryConsole parameters (one of them tells RecoveryConsole to NOT ask for admin password).
  • A few bugfixes. For those of you wanting to look and build chntpw from the source, it should now compile??
2003-04-26:
  • Newer NTFS driver and internals of writebacks changed a bit on floppy, may fix some hangs reported on writing back to NTFS.
  • No changes to chntpw program itself
  • John Simpson supplies nice description on how to fix up lost admin password in ActiveDirectory.
Earlier history removed.. (started in 1997)


Source code and more info


  • chntpw-source-140201.zip - Source code + static linked binaries (zipped)
  • README.txt - Readme file from the source archive. Contains some technical info.
  • MANUAL.txt - Short manual on the command line tools + reg edit.
  • GPL.txt - "chntpw" and other command programs license is GPL
  • LGPL.txt - "ntreg"-library license is LGPL
  • HISTORY.txt - History file from the archive.
  • regedit.txt - Regedit short demo.
  • syskey.txt - (obsolete) Technical info on howto switch off syskey.
User "manual" & tech info in the README file, or look inside the source. See the INSTALL file inside the archive on how tou build.
ntreg.c & ntreg.h now somewhat makes a rather complete library for access to the registry files. There is currenctly no documentation for the different function calls, and all functions may change in future releases. I plan on cleaning it up, and if possible mimicing the windows API.
Explanation of win3.11, win95 and NT registry files can be found in WinReg.txt, written by some German (I think, at least speaks German) named B.D. Sorry I don't have that persons full name, I can't find a name/address in the file, and it was not credited when I picked it up from some website many years ago. This is the original file as I found it, I've discovered some minor errors and some changes in newer windows versions, but not corrected the file. Look it up in my sourcecode for more detailed info.

    OFFLINE WINDOWS PASSWORD & REGISTRY EDITOR, BOOTDISK / CD [Frequently asked questions]

    4:04 AM  Unknown  No comments


    Last update: 01 Feb 2014

    The changes does not take effect.
    I get some errors like "read-only filesystem" and such.

    • Windows may not have shut down properly, thus making unsafe to write to the disk.
    • Shut down windows from the login page, or from the start menu.
    • If there is no way to shutdown from the login-page, try this:
      1. Boot windows into Safe Mode (press a lot on F8 before the windows logo screen appears)
      2. The login screen in safe mode should usually have a shutdown option, so shut it down!
      3. You may have to do this TWICE! some times..

    I use full disk encryption, like Bitlocker, and even if I do remember the Bitlocker password I have forgotten the windows password

    • No support for encrypted disks, even if you know the password to open it.
    • Sorry. No plans to support it for the moment.

    The keyboard does not work! I can't answer the questions!!

    • If you have a USB keyboard either your USB controller or your keyboard is not supported with the rather generic drivers I use. Nothing I can do at the moment, sorry! Try a PS/2 keyboard if possible.
    • If the keyboard is PS/2 and won't work, I do not have a solution. Sorry.


    I have the CD in my CD drive, but it starts on the haddrive.

    • Check your PC manual on how to boot from CD.
    • For those of you without manuals: Usual keys to either bring up boot menu or BIOS setup: ESC, F2, F8, F10, F11, F12, DEL, CTRL-S
    • Watch the screen, it often says something about SETUP or BOOT MENU during the PC logo or self test.
    • Or enter BIOS setup and change the boot order. Either you can figure that one out from the menus, or you really need the manual.
    • I don't remember when BIOS-folks started implementing the CD boot (El Torito) standard, but it was around 1995? Older computers won't CD boot.
    • But BIOS-programmers never actually READ the bloody standard, so you may have a buggy one that only boots some CDs.
    • If it boots (first banner page), the same problems as for the floppy may show, please read on..

    I have the USB drive plugged in, but it starts on the haddrive instead

    • Check your PC manual on how to boot from USB
    • For those of you without manuals: Usual keys to either bring up boot menu or BIOS setup: ESC, F2, F8, F10, F11, F12, DEL, CTRL-S
    • Watch the screen, it often says something about SETUP or BOOT MENU during the PC logo or self test.
    • Or enter BIOS setup and change the boot order. Either you can figure that one out from the menus, or you really need the manual.
    • As usual the BIOS/PC manufacurers seems to have a problem of actually being able to do something properly.
    • Also, really old PCs even if they have USB ports may not be able to boot from it.
    • See the readme.txt inside the usb??????.zip file from my download page, it contains more up to date info.
    • Also note: the command window to run the syslinux.exe command in must be started "run as administrator" else it cannot write the bootblocks to the usb drive (and it will not always give an error)
    • So.. catch 22? You have forgotten your password, and thus cannot write the USB disk to be able to fix the password? Ooops. Borrow someone elses computer to write the USB disk, or get help.

    It cannot find any Windows disks or paritions.

    • If it cannot find any disks it is usally because the drivers for the disk controller is not included in my image.
    • From version year 2013 onwards, the drivers have really bloated, so I have stripped down on number of drivers in my bootimage.
    • If I have left out a really common drivers on todays hardware, please tell me.
    • However, I cannot include some rare or uncommon drivers.
    • It is possible to use other boot CD / images (live linux distributions), they contains a more complete graphical environment that can be booted off CD / USB, and runs in memory without install
      • First download the static .zip file from advanced page
      • Inside there should be the executable program "chntpw.static", copy that to an USB drive.
      • Boot the machine on a live linux CD, there are a lot of them, for example Ubuntu
      • Once the desktop is up, it usually is possible to click on the windows hardddisk to open a file manager and view the files.
      • Insert the USB drive containing the "chntpw.static" program and open it in the file manager.
      • Now open a command line, usually called "Terminal" or similar.
      • Need to be root (probably), give command "sudo su -"
      • Check where disks are, command "df -h"
      • Windows disk may be under something like "/media/x-x-x-x-x/something"
      • Change to that directory: "cd /media/xx-x-x-x-x-"
      • Take a look, should match what you see in the file manager "ls -l"
      • Go to the registry directory: "cd WINDOWS/System32/config", may be different case.
      • Take a copy of the sam file that will be changed: "cp sam sam.backup". It may be uppercase "SAM" instead.
      • Run the password reset program: "/media//chntpw.static -i sam"
      • Shutdown/reboot the machine from the desktop

    How to load a 3rd party driver

    • There is a menu selection for it. Put file(s) drivers*.zip on a floppy or on a USB stick (may be a different one from the one you boot from). The zips should contain *.ko files. The files will be automatically unzipped and ready for auto-load or manual menu selection.
    • I do not know how easy or difficult it will be to actually get the drivers to load into my kernel. There may be versions incompatibilities. Good luck, because you would really need it!

    It hangs when trying to access the windows disk

    • If there is disk activity, just wait. On large disks it may take maybe 10-20 seconds. (on really old versions of my bootdisk, maybe more than 10 minutes)
    • If there is no disc activity, what a few minutes, then reset and try again.
    • If it still hangs, try to boot windows into safe mode first, then shut down etc. See other faq entries about that.

    It seems to reset the password, but Windows won't agree.

    • My code wasn't that great after all. (it didn't change or changed in the wrong place. The V struct is still marked "here be dragons..")
    • Try blanking the password instead (menu selection 1), this may straighten things out. In fact, reports indicate: BLANKING RECOMMENDED!
    • If it still won't work, see the previous solution.
    • Blanking will probably be the only option in newer releases (it is :)
    • On old versions: quit out of the user name select with ! which is usually SHIFT 1
    • On new versions: it will go back to the menu after reset
    • .. and then select to quit, then answer y when it asks to write / save back the changes...
    • .. else nothing will be written.
    • Seems like too many people just reset the machine after selecting to reset the password, without doing the save..


    I'm told that the account is locked, even if I know it is not.

    • Ok, then the code to identify lockout is not good enough. Sorry for that.
    • Happens sometimes when there are failed logins on a user, even if it is not in fact locked out.
    • Just ignore it, you may still clear the password if you wish.


    I'm not told that the account is locked out, even Windows says it is. How can I reset it?

    • Oops, probably more to the lockout stuff than I know about.
    • You can try resetting it (selection 4 from the user menu), but it may not help.
    • May have something to do with Security / Group policies, which editing of is not supported yet.
    • Unless you'd like to play with the registry editor yourself and figure it out. I cannot give lessons in registry edit.

    The user promotion (putting user into admin group) did not work: I cannot log in!

    • Some users (like Guest often) are prevented from login by "Security policies". Does it say something like that when trying?
    • Sorry, but my program cannot change policy settings. (yet?)
    • It does not even know how to check them.
    • Sorry, nothing to do..

    The user promotion (putting user into admin group) worked, but I cannot put user back into other groups in windows!

    • This is known to happen in versions before year 2013
    • This was because only some parts of the group information was updated.
    • Group editing is handled properly in versions released in 2013 and later.
    • Also, if you have a run earlier versions and have the problem, it can be fixed by doing the promote again in 2013 versions or newer :)
    • If not, try these old tips:
    • Try the local user part of "computer management" in "administrative tools", it is more detailed than the stupid control panel applet.
    • But that may not work, either.
    • Or maybe "net user" or similar will work (commandline).
    • Sorry, have no other known workarond. I told you it was experimental!


    I tried it on Win2k/2003/2008 PDC (Active Directory), and it didn't change the password.

    • ActiveDirectory (AD) is a completely different database.
    • There is no support for directly changing passwords in AD.
    • To clear things up: The Active Directory SERVER itself is not directly supported, but workstations and servers that is just MEMBERS of the domain can have their LOCAL passwords changed by the utility.
    • But..
    • John Simpson has made instructions on how to reset that pesky lost administrator password in AD.
    • Many thanks goes to John for this!
    • And I may as well in a future relase make a frontend for the screensaver trick he uses, so it will be even easier.


    What is the 'Can't access tty...' error message when I quit the floppy/cd procedure?

    • Fixed in newer version..
    • It's from the shell, and has nothing whatsoever to do with the password edit.
    • My scripts don't allocate the terminal correctly.
    • Only thing it means is that ctrl-c to break etc won't work on console 1. Should work on console 2-4 (ALT-F2 and so on)
    • Please don't ask about this in mail AGAIN!

    My language uses characters in the usernames that are not readable with the CD boot, and i cannot enter/search for them, thus not edit.

    • There is no support for the full unicode character set. Perhaps never will.
    • Select user with the RID (user ID number) instead.
    • At the username prompt, enter the RID in hex, just as it is listed to the left in the user listing, with 0x in front.
    • For example 0xfa0
    • or 0xa451
    • In versions from 2013 and newer, you only can enter the number, not the name.

    When loading the floppy it stops with "boot failed."

    • Bad floppy. Or bad bootloader (some versions are known to give up easy)
    • Use another floppy or a new version of the ldlinux.sys file (go allthewebbing for it for instance. grab one from a linux distros bootdisks. I did.)
    • Or get the CD image from the download page.

    The .bin-file inside the .zip won't fit on a floppy.

    • You didn't read the bottom of the bootdisk download page
    • Click on the install.bat after extracting the .zip file, and follow the on screen prompts.

    Why can't I access my encrypted (EFS) files after resetting the password?

    • Because in XP and possibly later service packs in win2k the password itself is used to encrypt the keys needed for EFS.
    • Sorry, there is no way to recover the files once the password has been reset.


    What about support? and I just paid $$ for it on eBay!

    • Yes, some people sell it on eBay and other strange places.
    • Since the program is open source on the GPL license, they can actually do this. But so can anyone else. For any price, including free! (which I of course give it away for. but I don't do support)
    • If the price is reasonably low (for media, shipping etc), and you can call or email them if you need help, that's good, and then that is what you actually pay for. Then I have absolutely no problem with it.
    • Please do not blaim me if eBay sellers can't deliver or it doesn't work, or you feel ripped off. Leave feedback on eBay instead.
    • I DO NOT ENDORSE ANY SPECIFIC SELLER ON eBAY!
    • I give my tool away for free here, because I do not have the time for real support.
    • Usually I go through my mail 1 or 2 times a week, and I usually end up replying about 5-20% of it.
    • What I answer depends on my mood that day, what the problems are, and how they are presented.
    • Mails with questions for which an answer can be found here in the FAQ or on the other webpages will not be answered.
    • Questions for drivers will almost never be answered. They take too much time to figure out. Sorry.
    • And.. I understand English, Norwegian, Swedish and Danish.
    • My answers are either in English or Norwegian. (as appropriate :-)
    • Thank you all for a lot of positive feedback or small tips for improvement, I appreciate it :-) even if I often don't reply to you. :-(

    Can I donate money?

    • Not a the moment, I have closed the donations. There are several reasons I will not talk about.
    • But a big thank you to all that have donated, especially to some I guess I have missed a personal reply to!
    • And that VMWare Workstation license I bought for some of the donations years ago has helped me much continuing developing this tool. Thanks again :)

    OFFLINE WINDOWS PASSWORD & REGISTRY EDITOR, BOOTDISK / CD [ABOUT]

    4:03 AM  Unknown  No comments

    Forgot your Windows admin password?

    Reinstall? Oh no... But not any more...

    Overview

    • This is a utility to reset the password of any user that has a valid local account on your Windows system.
    • Supports all Windows from NT3.5 to Win8.1, also 64 bit and also the Server versions (like 2003, 2008, 2012)
    • You do not need to know the old password to set a new one.
    • It works offline, that is, you have to shutdown your computer and boot off a CD or USB disk to do the password reset.
    • Will detect and offer to unlock locked or disabled out user accounts!
    • There is also a registry editor and other registry utilities that works under linux/unix, and can be used for other things than password editing.

    How it is done?

    Windows stores its user information, including crypted versions of the passwords, in a file called 'sam', usually found in \windows\system32\config. This file is a part of the registry, in a binary format previously undocumented, and not easily accessible. But thanks to a German(?) named B.D, I've now made a program that understands the registry.
    This site provides CD and floppy images for end users to easily edit their forgotten passwords. But it also provides full source code and binary builds of the tools to allow others to use as they like for other purposes. Registry format documentation also available.

    How do I get it?

    Latest release is 140201 (2014-02-01)
    The following is available for download and information:
    2014-02-01
    • Finally! A very major release!(?)
    • Boot image will use more automagic to find windows!
    • Users can now be added or removed from groups (and made admin)
    • New utilities for user edit etc, can be used in scripts
    2011-05-11
    • Some major! new features for people using the registry utilites, but not much changes to password reset.
    2009-12-01
    • New site, official URL is now: http://pogostick.net/~pnh/ntpasswd/
    • All releases still contains old mail address, please note NEW mailaddress is pnh@pogostick.net. Old mailaddress vil be invalid after January 1st 2010.
    • No new release, 2008-08-02 is still newest. Hope to release new early 2010.

    Offline Windows Password & Registry Editor, Bootdisk / CD [DOWNLOAD]

    3:47 AM  Unknown  1 comment

    I've put together a CD or USB Drive image which contains things needed to reset the passwords on most systems.
    The bootdisk should support most of the more usual disk controllers, and it should auto-load most of them. Both PS/2 and USB keyboard supported.
    More or less tested from NT3.5 up to Windows 8.1, including the server versions like 2003, 2008 and 2012. Also 64 bit windows supported.
    DANGER WILL ROBINSON!
    If password is reset on users that have EFS encrypted files, and the system is XP or newer, all encrypted files for that user will be UNREADABLE! and cannot be recovered unless you remember the old password again     If you don't know if you have encrypted files or not, you most likely don't have them. (except maybe on corporate systems)
    Please see the Frequently Asked Questions and the version history below before emailing questions to me. Thanks!


    How to use?

    Please read the walthrough (now a bit outdated, sorry) and the FAQ before mailing me questions
    If you have the CD or USB, all drivers are included.

    Overview

    1. Get the machine to boot from the CD or USB drive.
    2. Load drivers (usually automatic, but possible to run manual select)
    3. Disk select, tell which disk contains the Windows system. Optionally you will have to load drivers.
    4. PATH select, where on the disk is the system? (now usually automatic)
    5. File select, which parts of registry to load, based on what you want to do.
    6. Password reset or other registry edit.
    7. Write back to disk (you will be asked)
    DON'T PANIC!! - Most questions can usually be answered with the default answer which is given in [brackets]. Just press enter/return to accept the default answer.
    The walkthrough and instructions is now on its own page! but is quite old.. hope to make a new one..

    What can go wrong?

    Well. Lots of things, actually. But most of the problems is of the type "cannot find" something. And then nothing happens.
    Also, see the FAQ for help with common problems.
    For linux-knowledged people, you may do things manually if the scripts fail, you have shells on tty1-tty4 (ALT F1 - ALT F4).

    Bootdisk history

    2014-02-01
    • Automatics for you: Auto search for windows on all disks! NICE!
    • New major feature: Full local group membership edit now working!
    • That means the promote user to admin feature won't mess up!
    • The user edit menues has been changed a bit, now easier to get out and I hope more logical.
    • More and newer drivers.
    • However, drivers have bloated!
    • So: Old ISA stuff is out. PCI(e) SATA/ATA/SCSI support only.
    • Also, less sata-overethernet/ata-over-avian-carrier and all that, since some of those drivers are really huge (and avian carrier rather slow)
    • Tried to focus more on home systems rather than servers.
    • If my bootimage does not have drivers for your system, you can try other boot images (live linux, for example ubuntu) and run the "chntpw.static" executable from the commandline. See the FAQfor more info.
    2011-05-11
    • Newer kernel with newer disk and NTFS drivers as usual.
    • Hopefully fixed the problem for the CCISS driver used in a lot of servers, for example the HP DL3xx series and such. Thanks to everyone who reported it, and also to the several people who explanined my mistake (I missed that the access path for it had changed in the driver).
    • Some minor tweaks to the path select again. See also below.
    • Major bugfixes and functionality expansion of the registry edit functionality, but that is more for administrators using the tool in their own ways. See other pages on this site.
    2010-06-27
    • Newer kernel with newer disk drivers as usual.
    • Path select has been improved, I hope, it should now also tell what it does find on its way, and be more likely to work automatically.
    • If it does not find the correct path, you probably selected the wrong partition.
    • NOTE: Windows 7 has a small boot partition first (number 1) for the boot loader, and my system may not be smart enough to select number 2 instead. So you select number 2 manually. Thanks! :)
    • Release contains some small bugfixes that may be able to handle some problematic registries. Or maybe not.
    • For more change info not directly related to regular password reset, se the other pages.
    2008-08-02
    • Update 2009-12-01: This old 2008-08-02 release also works on Windows 7, all versions as far as I know. New release hopefully sometime early 2010.
    • Now uses NTFS-3g as NTFS filesystem driver.
    • This hopefully removes some problems regarding dirty and "bad flags" NTFS volumes.
    • You will be asked if you like to force your way and continue anyway if the disk has been uncleanly shut down.
    • There exists a small chance of problems with the very latest written files before the unclean shutdown if you select to force it.
    • Safest is still to boot into windows and shut down properly if that is possible with an unclean volume.
    • Path select now hopefully better at detecting default suggestion and to actually find it...
    • Newer kernel, and probably newer and better drivers.
    • No changes to the passord/registry edit program (chntpw) since last release.
    • Sorry, did not have the time to finish the floppy version yet.
    2008-05-26
    • Newer kernel, and probably newer and better drivers.
    • Windows Dynamic Disks now supported, but maybe not all combinations of mirrors etc. It recognizes the partition layout at least.
    • Should now be possible to load extra drivers (drivers?.zip) from USB the same way as with floppy. Or maybe not. Did not test it that much.
    • Fixed a lot of bugs in the registry handling, did not affect password reset much, but did affect larger registry edits.
    • You still may experience hangs when the NTFS disk is mounted, it will hang after saying "NTFS version x.xx" or such. If there is disc activity, just wait, it may take a while.
    2007-09-27
    • Patched up NTFS driver to get rid of hang on mount in many cases (after selecting disk). Got many problem reports on this. At the same time someone on the NTFS-for-linux mailinglist mentioned it, and Anton Altaparmakov made a patch very quick. Thank you Anton!
    • Nice if people experiencing the hang in 2007-09-23 can mail me and tell if the fix worked or not. Thanks!
    • NOTE: It may still take up to a minute or two to select the disk.
    • Floppy version had a script bug making it crash in the first menu. Fixed.
    • CCISS driver (HP/Compaq DLxxx etc) had different device paths. Hacked in support for it, may not be 100% still.
    2007-09-23
    • Floppy version is back! (requires 3 floppies to get all drivers, but you can compose your own driver set so you only need 2)
    • Yes, VISTA is supported (even more)
    • Disk select now indicates which disks are removable, ie are USB keys for instance.
    • Check for "read-only" NTFS mount, you get instructions on what to do if there are problems with the disk so changes won't be saved.
    • Missed out on some IDE/ATA and SATA drivers last time, better now.. I hope.
    • User can be added to the administraror group, making them administrators.
    • Stupid typo in readme.txt on CD fixed, on how to make USB bootable.
    (earlier history removed)
    9705xx
    • First public release.

    NOTE: Versions before 0704xx will corrupt the disk on VISTA/win7/8!

    NOTE THAT THE BOOTDISK CONTAINS CRYPTHOGRAPHIC CODE, and that it may be ILLEGAL to RE-EXPORT it from your country.

    How to make the CD

    Unzipped, there should be an ISO image file (cd??????.iso). This can be burned to CD using whatever burner program you like, most support writing ISO-images. Often double-clikcing on it in explorer will pop up the program offering to write the image to CD. Once written the CD should only contain some files like "initrd.gz", "vmlinuz" and some others. If it contains the image file "cd??????.iso" you didn't burn the image but instead added the file to a CD. I cannot help with this, please consult you CD-software manual or friends.
    The CD will boot with most BIOSes, see your manual on how to set it to boot from CD. Some will auto-boot when a CD is in the drive, some others will show a boot-menu when you press ESC or F10/F12 when it probes the disks, some may need to have the boot order adjusted in setup.

    How to make an bootable USB drive



  • Copy all the files that is inside the usbXXXXXX.zip or on the CD onto an usb drive, directly on the drive, not inside any directory/folder.
  • It is OK if there are other files on the USB drive from before, they will not be removed.
  • Install bootloader on the USB drive, from command prompt in windows (start the command line with "run as administrator" if possible)
    • X:syslinux.exe -ma X:
  • Replace X: with the drive letter the USB drive shows up as (DO NOT USE C:)
  • If it seems like nothing happened, it is usually done.
  • However, a file named ldlinux.sys may appear on the USB drive, that is normal.
  • It should now in theory be bootable.
  • Please know that getting some computers to boot from USB is worse than from CD, you may have to change settings, or some will not simply work at all.

    How to make the floppy

    The unzipped image (bdxxxxxx.bin) is a block-to-block representation of the actual floppy, and the file cannot simply be copied to the floppy. Special tools must be used to write it block by block.

    • Unzip the bd zip file to a folder of your choice.
    • There should be 3 files: bdxxxxxx.bin (the floppy image) and rawrite2.exe (the image writing program), and install.bat which uses rawrite2 to write the .bin file to floppy.
    • Insert a floppy in drive A: NOTE: It will lose all previous data!
    • Run (doubleclick) install.bat and follow the on-screen instructions.
    • Thanks to Christopher Geoghegan for the install.bat file (some of it ripped from memtest86 however)
    Or from unix:
    dd if=bd??????.bin of=/dev/fd0 bs=18k

    How to make and use the drivers floppy


    • Simply copy the zip file onto an empty floppy.
    • You MUST NOT UNZIP THE ZIP FILE!
    • Depending on your hardware you may only need one of the driver sets or the other, or maybe both.
    • To use, insert one of the driver floppies when asked for it after booting, the zip file will be unzipped to memory.
    • If no drivers matched (no harddisk found), you can select 'f' from the main menu to load the other driver set.
    • Then select 'd' to auto-start the new drivers (if it matches your hardware)
    • Sometimes it fails detecting the floppy change and you get an error, just select 'f' again, it works the second time.
    • For more advanced users that uses this often, it is possible to unzip just the drivers you need and zip them up into a new zip archive. The zip file name must start with "drivers", the rest is ignored. (it unzips drivers*.zip)


    Other places to go for password and disk recovery


    Bootdisk credits and license

    Most of the stuff on the bootdisk is either GPL, BSD or similar license, you can basically do whatever you want with all of it, the sourcecode and licenses can be found at their sites, I did not change/patch anything.
    The "chntpw" program (password changer, registry editor) and "reged" is licensed under GNU GPL v2. COPYING.txt
    Stuff I used, big thanks:
