Hack Windows Passwords Using OphCrack

Have you ever thought of breaking into your friend’s password protected computer to steal his confidential  files? What if you forget  the password of your computer? This article will answer all these questions.
In this article i am going to show you how you can hack windows password using OPHCRACK LIVE CD.

What is OPHCRACK??

Ophcrack is a free open source program that cracks Windows passwords by using NTLM hashes through rainbow tables. By default, ophcrack is bundled with tables that allows it to crack passwords no longer than 14 characters using only alphanumeric characters. For more about rainbow tables please visit this link.

Procedure to Hack:

Step 1: Download ophcrack live cd from here. 


Step 2: Make abootable CD/DVD with the downloaded iso file.
Follow the steps to create a bootable CD/DVD.
First download the ISO burner software from here. I selected this software because there is no need of installation. You can use it just by double clicking the file you downloaded. 
Now put your blank CD in CD drive. 
When you double click isoburner software, it shows the following screen.You can locate the file by clicking on the “open” option. and then click Burn button.



 Step 3: put the CD/DVD in your CD-DRIVE
 Restart your computer and change your boot options to “boot from CD/DVD”
 You can do this by  continuously pressing F12  or  F10 when it is restarting. You may use del or esc also. This option changes computer to computer. 
Then follow the instructions that shows. It is self explanatory so you can easily understand that. Once if ophcrack loads completely, it will automatically get your Windows password.
