I dont want to make it the main boot disc as i am already using one just wanted to know the passwords i used in my old disc and dont want to make them blank too.
Hi shairan
You need to import and decode SAM file of the other hdd in order to recover your password without blanking. SAMInside is the necessary software for this. Here is the link.

well I cant help as what I suggested will work. If you don't want to do it like that then that is your problem sorry. I will not help you find passwords as this info can be used in so many other ways. I am only happy to help you reset current passwords.

can you please tell me how i can do it manually , afterwards i can use lopht crack after i expand the sam.
I'm pretty such that "cracking passwords" is outside the scope of what EE can help you with. You likely will want to have your question deleted. As stated, milesv is the best answer for getting access to the data.

Plug the old disc in as the main boot disc (you will not have to boot it up just read the hive file with UBCD) blank the passwords the put everything back to normal.
