Package: chntpw Version: 0.99.5-0+nmu1 Severity: important I have recently been trying to reset my Windows password using chntpw. Unfortunally this did not work and I stumbled over Ubuntus Bug 293809. I also tried the Debian package and it did not work either.
The only way to make chntpw work was to use chntpw.static from upstreams source package. So I'll ask you to include the static version of chntpw in the amd64 package or into the source package until this bug is resolved. For reference here is the error message: chrisbra$ sudo chntpw -i SAM chntpw version 0.99.5 070923 (decade), (c) Petter N Hagen openHive(SAM): File does not seem to be a registry hive! ... and then with the static version from upstream: chris...@$ sudo ~/chntpw-080526/chntpw.static -i SAM chntpw version 0.99.6 080526 (sixtyfour), (c) Petter N Hagen Hive <SAM> name (from header): <\SystemRoot\System32\Config\SAM> ROOT KEY at offset: 0x001020 * Subkey indexing type is: 666c <lf> Page at 0x8000 is not 'hbin', assuming file contains garbage at end File size 262144 [40000] bytes, containing 7 pages (+ 1 headerpage) Used for data: 264/22456 blocks/bytes, unused: 12/5992 blocks/bytes. * SAM policy limits: Failed logins before lockout is: 0 Minimum password length : 8 Password history count : 8 ...
