i have a question: when i enter the cat command it says that it is not a command. i have checked a thousand times and it is right. why is it not working?
./john -f:NT /root/pass2, john is the user? and i ve to cange it for the usser i want to know the pass?, and why u puy in one line pas1 and then pass2? what´s the diference?
@elrabinoso Hey, john is the name of the application you are running, hence "./john" and the pass1 and pass2 are just the names of the files, they have no real meaning, sorry for confusion.
You can always use CIA Commander for an even faster reset/remove. However, Backtrack 4 is free (same with many other tools) and this video is intended to help get people familiar with the Backtrack 4 tools.

@GGsterooz Why do you think I'm getting the said error? Is it because I never installed any separate tables?
GGsterooz 5 months ago
@GGsterooz OK nvm LOL I figured it out. I had to type "--format=NT" instead of "-f:NT"
You should put that in the comments in case some other people have this problem as well

@ClantonNetwork u can also use chntpw 4 this.
