Linxu doesn't have SAM files.

So, you're trying to crack a SAM file ?
Then i need some more info on who's computer this is, and what the problem is, because i'm not just going to tell you how to do that.

fiend. I know how and what to use and do. Simple. OphCrack 2.0 LiveCD. I just would like to know how to locate the SAM file inside a linux distro for my friends computer that he lent out for use to another partner. He used his own password and user name and he didnt tell anyone. He does not want to reinstall as the info on the machine is business matters for the company and he was either fired or he quit. Is that enough? I just need to know how to locate the SAM file inside Linux. Thats all.

and it is called password recovery!

I am sorry if I can around rude but your accusing me of something I am not doing.

You seem to be going about this in the wrong way. It's easier to put the drive in a usb box and connect it to a machine where you have admin access.

Otherwise google around for mounting a NTFS drive under linux. Then navigate to where the file lives..

Again, linux DOES NOT HAVE SAM files, it works with a whole different password hashing/shadowing system than windows, so your search will be futile.
Linux password cracking is far more complicated than that.
As for accusing you, i was only doing that because your post was confusing me.
Since windows, and ONLY windows works with SAM files, the obvious answer would be you trying to crack someone's admin password for dubious reasons.

Now, to answer your question, you might want to try mounting the system's drive like janrocks suggests, so you can recover the data, or have a try at Knoppix STD.
OphCrack, being a freeware linux distribution based derivative of l0phtcrack, is meant for windows systems.

I may be wrong but it sounds to me like you are working on a windows computer but booting from linux cd. If so you could also google for readntfs dos boot disk. Use it and use the old copy command.

I'm still wary of how deep we should get into this.. It's password breaking and/or gaining access where it is denied. We need to be careful as this info can be used for very illegal purposes. I know this type of discussion is against the rules, but can't remember precisely which one.
