I'm looking for an altered pwdump2 variant which enables everyone, i.e. not just administrators, to retrieve the SAMs hash data under a W2k Pro (>=SP2) german system.
I got a former variant that didn't work but on international Windows systems because of some incompatibility in reg'keys.
I intend to help out a friend who cheaply acquired a used notebook with w2k on it, but unknown administrator account.
The phoenix BIOS is password-locked, so the boot sequence can't be changed to floppy drive > hdd ..., unfortunately.
My friend doesn't like the idea of sending in the notebook to the manufacturer in order to reset the bios password; i guess there is no guarantee any more.
Any ideas, tricks, or web links (code) dealing with my problem?
