I'm trying to follow these instructions to reset a forgotten Windows 10 password using chntpw on a Ubuntu live USB drive:
https://www.top-password.com/knowledge/reset-windows-10-password-with-ubuntu.html
When I get to actually running chntpw I get a read only error:
openHive(SAM) failed: Read-only file system, trying read-only
openHive(): read error: : Read-only file system
chntpw: Unable to open/read a hive, exiting..
I found this old question:
Recovering a Windows 10 password when the partition is read-only
But the solutions are ineffective. Any updates or clarification?
