Only replying cause I once knew a girl named Melody.... /sighs and starts to reminisce

But in answer to your question, I would skip OPHcrack entirely and just use Katana. It has an OPHcrack install, as well as Kon-boot which just removes the password on the computer.

Just plug your USB with OPHcrack back into the computer and Format it, then follow the instructions for installation on the link I posted above and you should be golden.

The reason I suggest this is because from what I remember of OPHcrack USB install it requires a few extra files to boot properly and IDK what they are, but katana has them all for you.

Cheers and GL cracking that BF's password

Grab Hiren's, boot that up and load mini winXP. There are plenty of utilities to reset your password there...

Allthough OPHcrack is a great tool, it finds far more use in the actual breaking of the hash.
Once this is obtained it might offer access to other part of the network.
I had quite some succes with this tool.
But as already mentioned by Kulverstukas; for just gaining entry reseting the hash or adding an account is far more effective.
This is also one of the reasons for using disk encryption which would effectively beat a cold attack as such.
