Re: [Qemu-discuss] Windows VM using KVM and Qemu - Reset Administrator Password?

[Tony Su]

Although I haven't tried, I can't imagine why the methods I've used before wouldn't work.

You'll probably have to describe how you've attempted to set up. Typically to me it would likely mean simply deploying the Windows disk file as a second disk to a running Linux VM, which would be either a regular Linux install or a LiveCD of a dedicated password reset.

Maybe even pointing the Windows VM virtual CDROM to a LiveCD would also work.

Hello All,

I've been having some issues lately with a few windows VMs. I've noticed that the majority of tools that reset windows administrator passwords never are able to recognize the windows installation on the virtual machine itself.

Are there specific qemu/kvm drivers that I need to load in order to get these to work properly?

Thanks in advance.
