Hi all. A lot of the old tools no longer seem to work. If I copy the SAM and SYSTEM hivesoff of a Vista box none of the tools that should allow dumping of the hashes work. SamInside does not complain, but the hashes it gives I know are wrong. Cain says "Couldn't find LSA subkey int he hive file" when I try to extract the Syskey from the SYSTEM hive. Both the Windows and Linux version of Ophtcrack give me a message: "Error: no valid hash was found in this file". Anyone else play with this yet? I can email a Vista SAM and Syskey file if you want to test it yourself.

By the way, Sala's PassWordRenew tool sill works for creating new admin accounts.
