samunlock - unlock users in the SAM user database

       This program was written by Adrian Gibanel Lopez.

       This  manual  page  was written by Adrian Gibanel Lopez <adrian15sgd@gmail.com>, for the Debian GNU/Linux
       system (but may be used by others).

                                                6th December 2017                                   SAMUNLOCK(8)

       This manual page documents briefly the samunlock command.

       samunlock is a non-interactive command line utility that can unlock a user and/or the user's account bits
       from  the  SAM  user  database  file  of a Microsoft Windows system (Windows NT, 2000, XP, Vista, 7, 8.1,
       etc.).  This file is usually located at \WINDOWS\system32\config\SAM on the file system  of  a  Microsoft
       Windows Operating System

       On success, the program does not output any informatin and the exit code is 0.

samunlock-U-utheboss
              Unlock an user named 'theboss', if found.

       samunlock-U-u0x3ea
              Unlock an user with RID '0x3a'.

       If the username includes international (non-ASCII) characters the program will not (usually) find it. Use
       the RID number instead.

-h     Show summary of options.

       -U     Unlock the user.

       -a     Unlock all the users. If this option is used there is no need to specify the next option.

       -u<user>
              User  to  unlock. The user value can be provided as a username, or a RID number in hexadecimal (if
              the username is preceded with '0x'). Usernames including international  characters  will  probably
              not work.

       -l     Lists the users in the SAM database.

       -H     Output  human  readable  output.  The  program  by default will print a parsable table unless this
              option is used.

       -N     Do not allocate more information, only allow the editing of existing values with same size.

       -E     Do not expand the hive file (safe mode).

       -t     Print debug information of allocated blocks.

       -v     Print verbose information and debug messages.
