1264493 2012-03-12 02:59:00 Which version of Windows? Snorkbox (15764)
1264494 2012-03-12 03:01:00 Do you mean Win7 x64? Is this what you mean?? Windows\system32\config? Speedy Gonzales (78)
1264495 2012-03-12 03:05:00 Thank you speedy

1264496 2012-03-12 03:10:00 I do have XP Pro and Win 7 system32 DIRS both for 64 bit. Snorkbox (15764)
1264497 2012-03-12 03:13:00 I doubt its a 64bit system now actually.

But I still can't change to the directory listed above
/mnt/windows/Windows/System32/config

any ideas?

1264498 2012-03-12 03:18:00 There is no windows/windows folder. Its c:\windows\system32\config (in Win7 x64). In XP 32 bit, its the same. C:\windows\system32/config Speedy Gonzales (78)
1264499 2012-03-12 03:25:00 /mnt/windows is the mount
the directory is /Windows/System32/config

Still not sure why I can't cd to it though

1264500 2012-03-12 03:29:00 What are you doing this in? Vista / Win7, or linux?? If its windows, you dont need mnt. If its windows go to that folder / hold shift down, then right mouse. Select open command window here Speedy Gonzales (78)
1264501 2012-03-12 03:48:00 Ah so you want to reset a windows login password? Use this instead if you are. (pogostick.net). Click on bootdisk up the top

Get the ISO then burn it. Then boot from the CD. Or get the files for a USB flash drive, then copy the files to it. Then type this in windows command prompt, to make it bootable. CD to the flash drive first

X:syslinux.exe -ma X: where X is the letter of the flash drive. Once you boot from the Cd or flash drive. Just select the defaults. Until you get to the partition windows is on. You have to make sure you select the right partition, so it can remove / reset the password. (esp if the computer has a restore partition) Then, remember to press Q (or !) I think it is to write what you've done. Before you quit
