Could any one tell me how to access the SAM File in Windows 8 without running another OS and it should be possible for a limited user to do this? A reply would be deeply appreciated.
-
You wont be able to do this from a limited user for obvious reasons, not without doing some sort of privilege escalation at least. And I am pretty sure you will need to get SYSTEM access, as in kernel level administrator access, not the user "administrator" or a user in the "administrators" group to read the SAM file.

Well you can create a snapshot of the drive while running live.
From there you can access the SAM file.
Its called volume shadow copy, if you look that up you might get somewhere.
gl.
(you will still need privs of some kind)
