Offline NT Password & Registry Editor Step-by-Step Guide

Friday June 12, 2009
Offline NT Password & Registry Editor (ONTPRE) is an excellent, and arguably better, alternative to the very, very popular Ophcrack password cracking program.

My review of Offline NT Password & Registry Editor has been a popular stopping point on my site but the biggest complaint about this unique "password removal" tool is that it's a bit hard to use since it's all text based.

So in response to all the feedback, I've created a step-by-step guide with screenshots, demonstrating every painless step in great detail:

How to Remove Passwords Using Offline NT Password & Registry Editor

I should also mention another program called PC Login Now which is a password hacking tool that works in nearly exactly the same way as ONTPRE but it does so with an easy to use graphical interface.

However - PC Login Now is not free. In my opinion, you shouldn't need to use PC Login Now - ONTPRE is just as effective and now that you have a step by step guide to using it, it should be easy.

hi there,

Got the ISO file on DVD/CD, works fine until step 2.

After pressing “enter” at [Windows/system32/config]
Nothing happens but it show the question “What is the path to the registry directory?…” again, then I pressed “enter” again but the same happens again.

What should I do? Thanks.

Bobby, I’m not sure why that would happen. Have you tried another program like Ophcrack? You could also see if the developer could help out.
