I have a problem, on my other computer I had a password consisting of a word and three digits, for logging in to windows 7. I remember the word, however I forgot the digit combination. And since there are only a 1000 combinations so I think I could somehow try these combinations but I don't know how can I do it. I have another computer here which I can make use of.
Thanks for any suggetions.
You need to download Ophcrack. It uses a windows 7 rainbow table to retrieve passwords. I would highly recommend it. Simple to use, just burn iso to a dvd/cd and boot from disk. It'll boot into the linux OS and begin retrieving your password.
