In case your tryin to reset your windows password with "chntpw" and you're getting this message "chntpw: Unable to open/read a hive, exiting..":

Take a look here ( https://superuser.com/questions/1010229/recovering-a-windows-10-password-when-the-partition-is-read-only ) and search for the comment, which starts with: "There is an easy fix for this problem." <--- My next solution. May it be your next and final solution.

And again: Salut.

PS: After the final reboot to Linux I didn't needed to do the steps for getting "chntpw". I was also connected to the Internet from start. But for beeing sure I did this "refreshing (software) cache"-stuff again. I ignored getting "Chntpw" and i was going ahead with my tutorial, where I stopped.
