Downloaded the ISO-File and burned it to CD. Booted the PC with that CD. Ophcrack did its thing and then booted itself into a window. After 25 minutes it showed me all accounts an their passwords. Quite simple. Thanks. PS: I didn't rate the support, because I didn't need it.
Downloaded it. Didn’t have a zip file to open it. Bought your program for that and guess what. I need my admin code to run the program I just bought from you to run the file I just downloaded to crack my password. NOT HAPPY!!!!!!
Works great!

How to Use Ophcrack LiveCD
To get started, visit the Ophcrack download page. Once you're there, choose Download ophcrack LiveCD and select either the XP or Vista/7 link (use the Vista/7 one for Windows 8 and don't worry about the third 'without tables' option) to download the correct ISO image file for your operating system. This file may take some time to download.
An ISO file contains everything that should go on a disc or flash drive, all in a single file. The Ophcrack LiveCD ISO file contains SliTaz (a Linux distribution), the Ophcrack software, and other files needed to recover passwords. Don't worry about the details: the Ophcrack LiveCD is fully automatic so you need no Linux experience whatsoever.
After downloading the Ophcrack ISO, you do have one decision to make — whether to burn Ophcrack to a disc (like a CD, DVD, or BD) or to put Ophcrack on a USB drive, like a flash drive:
Ophcrack on a Disc
If the computer you're on, and the computer you forgot the password to, both have an optical drive, burning Ophcrack to a disc is probably the easiest way to go.
If you've burned ISO images before, go for it. If not, please know that burning an ISO file is very different than burning normal files. Check out How to Burn an ISO Image File to a CD, DVD, or BD for a complete tutorial.
After creating the Ophcrack disc, boot from the disc by restarting your computer with your newly created CD, DVD, or BD in the drive. Linux will load, Ophcrack will start, and the password recovery will begin.
If you have trouble getting your computer to boot from the Ophcrack disc, see our How to Boot From a CD, DVD, or BD Disc tutorial for help.
Ophcrack on a USB Drive
If one or both the computers you're working with don't have a CD/DVD drive, then getting Ophcrack working from a USB drive, like a flash drive, is your only option.
Ophcrack On Usb Flash Drive
Unfortunately, you can't just copy or expand the Ophcrack ISO to the USB drive and expect it to be bootable and work properly.
Once the Ophcrack USB drive is created, boot from the drive to get the Ophcrack process started.
Ophcrack Live Cd Iso
Once you have Ophcrack going, either via the disc you burned or the flash drive you created, it will locate the users on your Windows system and begin cracking their passwords. The process is automatic — you don't usually need to type or click anything. When the passwords are displayed on the screen, write them down.
Remove the disc or flash drive, reset your computer, and then log on to Windows with your newly recovered password!
Once you're back into Windows, change your password to something you'll remember this time and then create a password reset disk to avoid ever having to do this again.
Important Information About Ophcrack and Antivirus Programs
Ophcrack Live Usb
Some antivirus programs unnecessarily identify one or both of two files included in Ophcrack as a Trojan or other kind of malware — samdump.dll and pwservice.exe. Both of these files are part of an open-source program called pwdump which is included with Ophcrack and is necessary for it to work.
Download Ophcrack Live Cd Iso File Windows 8
The pwdump program is classified more or less as 'evil' since it can be used to extract passwords..which of course is exactly what you're trying to do.
So, don't worry if your antivirus program flags one of these files (as long as it's just these files). Ignore it and continue on with the process.
