sampasswd - reset passwords of users in the SAM user database
sampasswd [options] -uuser <samfile>
This manual page documents briefly the sampasswd command. This manual page was written for the Debian distribution because the original program does not have a manual page.
sampasswd is a non-interactive command line utility that can reset a user's password and/or the user's account bits from the SAM user database file of a Microsoft Windows system (Windows NT, 2000, XP, Vista, 7, 8.1, etc.). This file is usually located at \WINDOWS\system32\config\SAM on the file system of a Microsoft Windows Operating System
On success, the program does not output any informatin and the exit code is 0.
If the username includes international (non-ASCII) characters the program will not (usually) find it. Use the RID number instead.
chntpwd, reged, samusrgrp
