Anybody used OPHCRACK to reset Windows 10 password ???

Resetting windows password is not the same as cracking it. One can easily reset any windows password by using tools similar to ophcrack but the cons are that it is quite obvious(in case pc is not yours) & any file encrypted using windows in-built file encryption will be permanently lost. Using rainbow tables is good for cracking passwords which are alphanumeric & less than 14 characters but beyond that it is not worth the effort for a typical user.
