Owper is a graphical/TUI tool for clearing the passwords for Microsoft Windows user accounts, including Microsoft Accounts. It can also enable and disable accounts. In the case of a Microsoft Account, Owper converts the account to a local account with no password.
Currently all registry editing functionality is handled by (a modified version of) the ntreg library, which is distributed as a part of Petter Nordahl-Hagen's chntpw.
Owper is developed on Linux, though it may well work on other Unix-like operating systems (I am doing some testing on FreeBSD). It should run correctly on either the x86 or x86_64 architectures. It will NOT work on big-endian systems as of the current version.
- openssl development files
- development files for a supported GUI/TUI toolkit:
- GTK 2
- GTK 3
- ncurses
- on FreeBSD I had to have autotools and aclocal-archive installed, as it never seemed happy to accept the files generated in Linux (Makefile.in, etc.)
Owper uses autotools, so the typical ./configure, make, make install should suffice, except that I keep having to do autoreconf on FreeBSD.
