And so far I have had 100% success.

I was worried that it couldn't get the password for the Microsoft Managed accounts (the ones that use an email address as the user name) but it has found it on two different accounts of that type with no problem.

I don't think the other password reset programs will work for win8 (the ones that just remove the password) but I am going to try PCLoginNow to see what it does. This is just a quick load of Win8 for testing so I will let you guys know how it works.

So far Ophcrack is the way to go to get into the Win8 machine. I can give Kali instructions on loading "tables" if she needs help since I just did it.
