@@Endermanch Thats not True. If you use OOBE. You can still bypass it. After you did the OOBE bypass nro, and you are now creating the user. Fill in the username and No password, in that case you dont get it. You can later set the password after the installation.

When installing windows don't set a password, leave it blank. After the OS finishes installing, open cmd as admin and run "net user (yourusername) (password)"

That will set a password for your account with no security questions.

If the windows releases after 7 were like windows 7 but with the multiple desktop feature, giving more user choice to customise the GUI and some additional features(that users could switch off/choose not to install) then it would have been the best...but as nope we got windows 10 and especially windows 11 now with all this horrible telemetry and other "features" forced down us....

You forgot to mention one thing, to access the SAM key, you need higher permission level, a regular administrator account isn't enough, You can access it in two ways, either by using Windows PE, or by executing regedit with the NT AUTORITY/SYSTEM account (you can do that with a tool called "Process Hacker"), then you're good to go lol

If you make an account, set it up without a password and Windows will not ask for the security questions! Then after you first install, immediately set a password using command prompt as admin and type “net “your_user_name” password” and there you go! Of course remove the quotations. That’s how I’ve been doing it for years.

With this and Microsoft trying so hard to force us to the cloud I think it i time to ditch them! They were lazy or sloppy with the security in Windows and now they also have that Recall that they want to use to see everything that was ever on our screen. It becomes obvious to me that this is no good at all! Who in their right mind would give up system resources like CPU time and disk space just so that someone could spy on us? Those who actually accept it knowingly are the ones who I imagine are the easiest to brainwash and gaslight and for their heresies they probably deserve the misery!!

Windows has never been a secure os, I'm not surprised.

I hope this is patched in active directory though, even though important businesses probably use bit locker.

although i don't really know what's the risk here, yes sure it's in plain text, but it's not exactly "right there", it's sort of hidden and if you know howwhere it is and how to compile a program to extract them, why are you wasting time on something that can be changed or disabled when you can spend it on, idk, getting saved passwords from browsers. if you're a hacker and and want to break in in someone's pc, you need either physical access or the password, even if you knew where to find the security questions, you still need to access the system to access and it's not an issue if the attack is from inside the system because if they want your passwrd, they would use a keylogger or whatever, and then encrypt it to lock you out. why would you need to know where the person's parents first met if you can just access the computer in other ways. this is also something that was basically just discovered recently and now we might actually have a bit more hackers trying to get people's security questions, instead of keeping this a sort of a secret and reporting it to MS like you should. let's go back to when no one knew that you could steal kias with a usb lead, you're the first person to discover that, you wouldn't just film a video on how to do it and then go back to doing whatever you were doing, no, you contact kia and tell them like a proper, normal, likeable person
