Today we will discuss How to remove Administrator Password by Physically accessing the system. Some Time we forget our system password & and we have some Important Data on desktop & we can't Recover our window so to save this Important Data, we need to Reset the password . Here I want to explain some thing advancely That where the administrator password is stored actually in the windows system Password stores . The windows password is stored in the SAM (Security Account Manager) file and This file is stored in the windows directory C:\WINDOWS\system32\config .
This file is in the Decrypted & Running state we can't access this file easily & neither we can open this file by using notepad or any text editor in the running state . we can only access this file by using the offline mode or we can say if we boot any live operating system on it then we can easily open this file .
Requirement :
