Change passwords in MS Windows and Linux

Change MS Windows administrator password

Whatever your reason for changing any users password, this simple howto will surely satisfy that need. The only way to prevent this currently is with full disk encryption. Here is how you change windows password within Ubuntu.

You can either use your livecd or hdd

 sudo apt-get install chntpw

Now its installed, so lets get to workâ€¦

Ok I am assuming your using a hardy heron livecd or a Ubuntu Hardy Heron full install. You will now need to mount the windows partition read/write permission then navigate to %systemroot%/system32/config Once your located in the config directory issue this command to change the password

 chntpw -u administrator SAM

Prompt for password for â€˜administratorâ€™, if found (otherwise do nothing) use * to blank

Now reboot and login to winblows

Optionally you can skip resetting the password and just install Ubuntu ;)
