Earlier in this skill, we went through Hirens and started mucking around in our Windows 10 operating system to see if we can change the password.
And you may have remembered that I did not complete the task or test the actual password itself, and that's because it's part of our challenge.
I want to challenge you with going through and seeing if you can actually boot into Hirens and change the password on the actual Windows system itself to gain access for you into that operating system.
We're pretending that we have the physical hard drive. We mounted it inside of a virtualized environment, either through hard drive sled or let's say another physical system.
And we're using Hirens to circumvent the password requirements on the local user account.
That way we can actually get in and see if there's any other juicy data for us to be able to get our grubby little hands on.
And in the solution, we'll walk through how I did it and see if our terms match up.
And by the way, don't worry about changing the password on that Windows 10 system and having it affect your labs in the future.
You should be able to reset the lab and it go back to normal after you've completed this challenge and solution.
You won't lose anything between the previous skill, this skill, or the next one. I promise you that.
