23+.SH SYNOPSIS

32+.SH DESCRIPTION
33+This manual page documents briefly the
34+.B chntpw
35+command.
36+This manual page was written for the Debian distribution
37+because the original program does not have a manual page.
38+.PP
39+.B chntpw
40+is a utility to view some information and change user passwords
41+in a Windows NT/2000 SAM userdatabase file. It is not necessary to
42+know the old passwords to reset them. In addition it contains a
43+simple registry editor (same size data writes)
44+and hex-editor with which the information contained in a registry
45+file can be browsed and modified.
46+.SH OPTIONS
47+.TP
48+.B \-h
49+Show summary of options.
50+.TP
51+.B \-u username
52+Username to change. Default is Administrator
53+.TP
54+.B \-l
55+List all users in the SAM database.
56+.TP
57+.B \-i
58+Interactive: list all users (as per -l) and then ask for the
59+user to change.
60+.TP
61+.B \-e
62+Registry editor with limited capabilities.
63+.TP
64+.B \-d
65+Use buffer debugger.
66+.TP
67+.B \-t
68+Show hexdumps of structs/segments (deprecated debug function).
69+.SH EXAMPLES
70+.TP
71+.B chntpw sam system
72+Opens registry hives
73+.B sam
74+and
75+.B system
76+and change administrator account. This will work even if the name
77+has been changed or it has been localized (since different language
78+versions of NT use different administrator names).
79+.TP
80+.B chntpw -u jabbathehutt mysam
81+Prompts for password for
82+.B jabbathehutt
83+and changes it in the
84+.B mysam
85+registry file, if found (otherwise do nothing)
86+.SH SEE ALSO

88+recovery, you might look at the bootdisks provided by the
89+upstream author at

91+.br
92+There is more information on how this program works available at
93+.IR /usr/share/doc/chntpw
94+. This information includes in-depth information on how the
95+registry works, what are syskeys and some other issues.
