I use chntpw a lot and using the hex id (RID) instead of the user name generally saves a lot of head aches.
Type “winpass -l” to to get a list of users then type “winpass -u 0x” replacing with a user’s hex value.
Something like this:
[root@trk]:(~)# winpass -l
…
0e3d | user name | ADMINISTRATOR
…
[root@trk]:(~)# winpass -u 0×0e3d
Hope this helps.
