How to recovery the administrator password in windows vista

Whaooo, I am happy today. I was able to recover a windows vista admin password.

My customer brought a laptop Gateway with windows vista- The administrator account was disabled and the only user admin account "bert" has a strong password. So, I called bert to ask for the password. But bert couldn't remember his password-

So, I have in front of me a windows vista laptop with no way to access it.


Here is what I did to recover the lost password.

1 - download trinity Rescue kit iso file.

2- burn the iso file using ISO RECORDER V3

3- boot the computer from the new trinity CD.

4- choose the default setting (the first one)

5- at the prompt,type winpass -u bert

6- choose option 1 for clear password

7- remove the cd

8- reboot the computer

and voila! bert user has a blank password and I have 100% access to the system


Thanks a lot to the techs a trinity rescue. I am going to send them a paypal donation today. They made my job easy.

CONFIGURE CISCO ASA AS A SSH SERVER

Here are the step

1) username congo password brazzaville


2) passwd pointenoire


3) ssh x.x.x.x x.x.x.x {inside/outside}
Example : conf t
ssh 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 outside (I want to accept the ssh connection from any external ip - It means, I will be able to access my ssh server from anywhere in the world)

if I just want to access from a specific place like my central office, I will type :
ssh 72.142.124.25 255.255.255.248 (72.142.124.25 being my central office IP address)



4) crypto key generate rsa modulus 1024

5) aaa authentication ssh console LOCAL
