during boot.After boot it will prompt Kali Linux boot screen , then select first option ” Run Kali LINUX live (without installing) ” .
 

The Breaking Process:

Step 3 : Now we are booted in Kali LINUX through pendrive.Now we have to goto windows installation drive through terminal .To goto windows installation drive in terminal, open terminal
as Root and Type below commands carefully in terminal.  [ All bold letters are command to type in terminal ]

 cd /

cd media/ 

cd hard-drive-name/      \\Replace hard-drive-name with the name of your local drive having windows in it.If  don’t know your drive name then open your windows installation drive properties and you will see drive name and path (as shown in image).



 cd Windows/System32/config/



Step 4 : Now we are in config folder located in Windows installation drive.Now type below commands in terminal-

ls -l SAM*

 chntpw -l SAM



Step 5 : Now we have to target user account to reset it’s password .
 chntpw -u [account-name] SAM     //Replace [account-name] with user account which you wanna to reset/Hack password.
Here i’m targeting Administrator account to reset/Hack password.So,my command will look like this –
 chntpw -u Administrator SAM



 
Step 6 : Now you can remove ,change ,edit user account password. Like :
Press 1 to clear user Password
Press 2 to Unlock user account.
and many more options.
Now enter command to reset password.Here i will enter 1 to clear user password .After hitting enter ,you will notice password is cleared .(highlighted something in yellow
color “Password cleared ” in image).



 

Step 7 :  But account is still locked (as you can see in above image [probably locked now]) . To unlock account press 2 and Hit enter.



 

Step 8 : Now you password is reset.To confrm account is unlocked check in option 2 (as highlighted in above image[seems unlocked already]) .

Now reboot you your computer and choose admin account at login screen you will see it won’t ask for password.
