Which was extracted by a password recovery disk, how would i go about converting this to perfectly readable text ?

If they are SHA1 or MD5 hashes then you can't. Have a nice day.

They sort of look like Hex though, i was hoping someone had done this before...

Perhaps a hex converter

however if this is the method of encryption being used I would consider changing it as that is far too easy too crack

Isn't this illegal talk?

Nope, not at all.

This is what a password extractor dumped on me, its an old PC that i simply forgot the passwords too.

I've extracted them, now i need help decoding them :/

is that a bios password? Otherwise slap another image on the disk overwriting this one.

No, they are user account passwords, i've tried booting into safe mode, but to no avail as the admin still has a password.

I just need an administrators account on that PC.
I know i culd just add a new one, but i have no idea how too :/

Reading this thread back it sounds bloody malicious, so i see where you're coming from VBcoder.

There is no point recovering the passwords, simply boot up using the recovery console and delete the file named SAM.

Ok, now why didn't i think of this.

Thanks.

Of course it's hex (or rather ascii representation of hex). Its still hashed. Just read the numbers into a byte array and process it from there. Although there's no point

You will have enough time to go to prison for hacking and it still won't be finished when you get out :D

why not just set up the hard drive as a slave and take what you need off of it?

Format C; will sort most of your probs ;)

Format C: NTFS

For anyone who may be interested the Admin password for this particular hash is "Antioc".

Cheers to all who helped ;)
