[SOLVED] Can terminal work in different partition

pan64 · 04-22-2019, 12:07 PM

yes, thanks.
You only need to create a directory like:

Code:

sudo mkdir -p /mnt/windows
sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/sda2 /mnt/windows

user@user-Extensa-5630:~$ sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/sda2 /mnt/windows
Windows is hibernated, refused to mount.
The disk contains an unclean file system (0, 0).
Metadata kept in Windows cache, refused to mount.
Falling back to read-only mount because the NTFS partition is in an
unsafe state. Please resume and shutdown Windows fully (no hibernation
or fast restarting.)
user@user-Extensa-5630:~$

I have switched it off twice now what do I need to do never knew about hibernation.

Have solved it needed to go to windows command prompt and typed shutdown /s

ls works now in the windows but is not on the top of the tree it is in User
I want to go to C:\Windows\System32\config to edit the SAM file

So now you need to change directory into 'config'.

Code:

sudo cd /mnt/Windows/System32/config

Do what you need to do, then change back to your Linux home directory,

Code:

cd

you should now be in your home directory on your Linux system.

You can confirm that by entering

Code:

pwd

Thanks for your post.

with
cd /mnt/Windows/System32/config
No such file or directory
With Sudo I get
Sudo: cd: command not found

You don't need sudo with cd or pwd, you type them as your normal user.

Perhaps your permissions will let you change directory to your Windows config without the use of sudo(?), it's been a long time since I had any version of MS.

(Failing that, try changing into each Windows directory one at a time.)

The top of the tree is /...

The windows partition is mounted to /mnt/windows, the full path is

/mnt/windows/Windows/System32/config

Thanks for that it works.

Have chmod the SAM file and copied to my home directory but cannot read the octet stream.

Is there an editor for this?

Thanks

Why do you need it? Probably you can't do that at all (but from windows).

Well I thought I could edit passwords.

I have instead taken a SAM without passwords and will switch it for those who have forgotten their passwords.

I have a disk that does erase the passwords but it has a problem if the Windows is hibernated.

I need to get over this problem.

Switch the Windows fast startup feature off altogether on the relevant Windows machines. Bootups will be slower but you won't be bothered by the issue of machines being in hybrid shutdown/hibernation state.

Setting HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Power\HiberbootEnabled to 0 should do the trick.

Since cracking is against the forum rules please do not ask for specific help on the subject

Ok I'll just swap the old sam for a sam without a password.

Thanks everyone for your help.
