Windows User Password when logged in - TribusZA - Sep 20, 2016
Is there anyway to get access to/see the password of the currently logged in user in windows 7?

Nope, it's still stored in the SAM file, which is hashed.

You could boot up in safe mode and bypass it completely. This obviously only works if you have physical access to the computer. You can just Google "How to bypass windows 7 password with safemode".

Well, there's a method that allows you to swap password hashes using a linux live boot, however I'm not sure of the name of the tool and I'm not sure that this is what you're looking for
