Change grub default system to windows

Easy way: Change OS detection order in grub.

Rename /etc/grub.d/30_os-prober to 09_os-prober

And thats all. Windows 8 is now first in boot order. :)

Get access to local Windows machine using Kali linux

Almost all versions of windows password is saved in SAM file. This file is usually located under /Windows/System32/config. On your system it may look something like this: /media/hda1/Windows/System32/config. Below is the screenshot.

Type command chntpw -l SAM and it will list out all the usernames that are contained on the Windows system.

The command gives us a list of usernames on the system. When we have the username we want to modify and we simply run the command chntpw -u “username” SAM

In the example below we typed: chntpw -u “Administrator” SAM and we get the following menu:

We now have the option of clearing the password, changing the password, or promoting the user to administrator. Changing the password does not always work on Windows 7 systems, so it is recommended to clear the password. Therefore you will be able to log in with a blank password. You can also promote the user to a local administrator as well.
