Hi, im new at this, and I've been having troubles with my command prompt. Please, all help is welcome, thanks in advance.
I had downloaded pwdump7 from openwall and extracted it, I have windows xp. Does it have to do with any system variables?
I keep trying to invoke pwdump 7, with different combomations
'pwdump7' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
and
'pwdump.exe' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
and
'pwdump7.exe' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
thank you
First, I dont know anything about pwdump. It's not one of the programs that I use. Sounds like you need to change into the directory where the file is. CD is the command to change directories. If you are trying to execute it from the C prompt, and the program is not in the root of C then it wont work. For instance, if the file is in 'C\Program Files\PWDump', then you would need to type CD C\"Program Files"\PWDump and then hit enter. That will put you into that directory and you should be able to type the name of the executable. If its pwdump7.exe, then you would type pwdump7 and that should spit out a list of the options that it will take.
I grabbed pwdump7 from OpenWall just now and there's a readme file.
Where did you copy the files to after you extracted them from the archive? It worked great for me
D\tools\pwdump7>pwdump7 -s d\cases\xp\config\sam d\cases\xp\config\system

Also, since you are not that familiar with command line, remember [TAB] auto-completion.
By pressing [TAB] you will cycle through every and each file in the directory, and by inputting "p" and pressing [TAB] you will cycle through all files starting with "p", etc., etc..
To see the options you need to pass the utility a "/?" or "-h" parameterC\Downloaded\Resourcekit>PwDump7.exe /?

Hi, Thank you all for your help
I was able to get it work, i realized that i had to be in the directory of the executable. I thought i could just be in C\ and then go therough the folders.
Thanks for the help
