is it possible to edit the Windows file system with Linux on a flash-drive?
by Brant from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5568E)
I was asked to look at a friend's laptop that was refusing to let them log-in, and that was showing this message:
Your Device/PC Is Offline. Please Sign in With the Last Password Used on This Device/PC
Looking on line, I saw this (among other things):
Run regedit to open the Registry Editor and go to the following key: HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Software\Microsoft\IdentityCRL\StoredIdentities
Expand StoredIdentities and delete the key of the Microsoft account that is creating issues.
This left me wondering if I could do the same thing while running Linux from a live USB key, and if so, how to locate the key.
Screenshot-1 shows what I see when I open the file system. Screenshot-2 shows the content of the Windows folder.
Is this do-able?
Thanks!
