explains what I’m going to say
Requirements: USB flash drive of at least 8 GB.
1. Download the Kali Linux file (https://www.kali.org/get-kali/#kali-installer-images), depending on your OS if it’s x32 or x64 you download the corresponding version!
2. After downloading the .iso file, you need to download Linux Live USB Creator(https://www.linuxliveusb.com/en/download) and press Download Lili.
3. Plug in your USB drive and format to FAT32 (back up files you don’t want to lose to the USB drive)
4. Open Linux Live USB Creator, on CHOOSE YOUR KEY, you choose your PEN DRIVE, usually it is the last partition letter on your PC.
5. On CHOOSE SOURCE, tap ISO/IMG FILE and explore your windows to find the .iso file you downloaded in step 1.
6. Leave step 3 as it is, go to step 4, check all the boxes and press the lightning bolt icon, this process may take 5-10 minutes.
7. After seeing successfully that Linux has been successfully installed, you need to perform advanced boot on your PC, follow this guide on how to do it ( https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en -en/000147155/booting-to-the-advanced-startup-options-menu-in-windows-10)
8. On the blue screen, tap Use device and choose your USB drive. If you get an error while trying to boot there is no need to worry just go to your bios and disable your secure boot from there save the settings and restart the pc and start again from there step 7.
9. After booting the USB and Kali Linux is on your PC, you choose the Live System (Forensic Mode) option.
10. Open the file system and go to the drive that has Windows installed, go to Windows > System32 > config , on that same location you will have a file called “SAM”, I strongly recommend in case of problems to make a backup of this file by copying it to any folder like DOWNLOADS or DOCUMENTS.
11. After making a successful backup, navigate to the location of the original SAM file and right-click anywhere on the folder you opened (DO NOT PRESS ANY FOLDER OR FILE) and press Open terminal here.
12. Type the following command:
1st Command: sudo su
2nd Command: chntpw -i SAM
13. Go to Edit user data and passwords by typing “1” and pressing “ENTER”
14. Enter the user number whose password you want to reset, in this case mine is 03e9.
15. And choose the 1st option (Clear user password (blank).)
16. After saving everything, type “q” then “ENTER” to exit the SAM file, press “y” to save the SAM file.
17. Press “q” and “q” again until the terminal is completely closed.
18. Restart your system and start Windows normally. If done correctly, the selected user will no longer have a password, so you can log in normally without a password, if it still asks you for one, just press “ENTER” without writing anything. You must log in normally
If you want to give yourself admin privileges, go to step 11, follow the same steps, but instead of clearing the (blank) user password, you choose the option (Promote user (do from the user an administrator)) and register again etc. etc
