Yesterday, I used Parted Magic 2022_01_18 (just because I had it at hand), not the UBCD 5.3.9 version (even though UBCD should have worked just as well, theoretically). However, it does not work for me - it was always unable to find my Windows installation. Inside the graphical Parted Magic environment, there's a 'Start -> System Tools -> Change Windows Password' tool, that should, theoretically, run chntpw. Newer Parted Magic versions should be less tricky to boot. It could be a bit tricky to boot those outdated Parted Magic sometimes, but there's a number of pre-defined boot modes, and one of the 'failsafe' modes always works for me up until now (which one depends on a particular hardware). This screen shows that we have reached the final step: writing the password changes to disk. Type q and press Enter to quit the chntpw tool. Type to quit editing user and then press Enter. Newer Parted Magic versions would cost you ~ 13USD. Type 1 for Clear (blank) user password and then press Enter. 012 Reset a Windows User password 013 Ophcrack 3.4 to crack a Windows password 014 PC CMOS Cleaner (crack or clear passwords) 015 Use QEMU.

The UBCD 5.3.9 contains an old (2013_08_10_i586) version of the Parted Magic distro, and there's chntpw-110511 inside. Parted Magic is a linux based partitioning and formatting tool that supports a wide range of filesystem formats, contains most ethernet and WiFi drivers and FireFox: The Parted Magic. The web page might look a bit more 'modern', but it just offers the same files from actually. Today (), the most recent pogostick release is. The pogostick seem to be quite outdated and no longer maintained. Also when Slackware 15 is released, I will be starting a new project called Parted Magic Arm. When Slackware 15 is released the 32bit userland will be moved to 64bit. But chntpw is available on other liveCD/liveUSB distributions, that are easier to boot. from the late 2010’s and none of them will even boot Parted Magic.

I assume that the only possible reason for anyone to want to boot pogostick is that they want to run chntpw. Pogostick is an old bootable USB image with just chntpw tool inside. Perfectly worked on my Windows 10 21H2, Dell T7910.

I just ran into the same issue yesterday, and ended up using chntpw from PartedMagic.
