Ok, I've got an idea which Im gonna try when I get back 2 skool. Im gonna use cmd to copy sam and system from C:\Windows\Repair to my USB, then at Home, I'm run them through a program called SAMInside!

Any thoughts?

Personally, I use Cain to crack them, but SAMInside isn't bad...

Not sure if you'll have the rights to copy them.

[Wack0]

You'd have to boot into ERD Commander or Hiren's Boot Disk to copy them, i don't think normal users have the rights to do so in a windows install.

muto and Wack0 are both right, users don't have rights to copy those files.

They shouldn't be able to!!

Sorry!

[Xcellerator]

Hmm, that's odd because I have copied loads of stuff from C:\Windows before and also I've used the method when you go to Internet Options >> Settings >> View Files >> Folders and I've been able to copy stuff fine!

Could I do it that way?

[muto]

I'm pretty sure those files are protected (for the obvious reason), so not with a normal user account.

[Xcellerator]

Hmmmm.... I can copy programs from C:\Program Files...

But also, in my school, there are 2 computers that are glitched up, they have been for about a year now, but on them you can run exes and everything! So I'll do it on there!

I think you need an Admin Account to touch SAM files, even on Standard Windows installations.

[muto]

For the real SAM, I think you might even need SYSTEM access, but the repair copies are often not as well protected.

I agree with muto here.

Xcellerator, I think the Local Drive Files haven't been setup properly in your School!
