Anyway I can crack a linux mint password? - throwie.awa - 12-10-2022 Ok, I gotta make sure I explain this good, Or someone may call the police. About 2 years ago I installed mint in my computer, shortly after, my computer, (minus the hard drive) unfortunately died Without a X86 computer, I couldn't boot into the os, and with time, I forgot the main user password, I now got medium access to the drive (using hashcat with an arm64 board, no, it isn't fast, it's very painful actually, but that's what I have) Any way I can get the password from the mint drive? I may probably have full access to a X86 just for me, but there are still some files I get to catch and probably a few passwords and user data Any help is very welcomed RE: Anyway I can crack a linux mint password? - Banaanhangwagen - 12-10-2022 You need to crack the hash typically stored in /etc/shadow. Find it, compare and format it as described here https://hashcat.net/wiki/doku.php?id=example_hashes, and finally try to crack it with Hashcat.

If it's LUKS encrypted look here: LUKS Support |
