This seems like a great idea to me. +1. I asked other editors to weigh in as well. If you get at least one more +1, consider it approved and go for it!

Hi everyone,
It's been a long time since I've had a moment to write an article for the magazine. Changes in life have kept me extremely busy, but I now have some free time and would like to write an article I'd like to pitch.
I've recently come across a tool available the in Fedora official repository called 'chntpw' that allows users to reset Windows passwords from the Linux CLI using a live-media. I've recently had to use this tool myself at work as the Microsoft-way of performing the same task was ineffective and time was limited in solving the user's issue. The article will contain:
- A brief paragraph summarizing what 'chntpw' is, what it can be used for, and it's requirements
- Installation instructions using the Fedora-Workstation-Live boot (with reference to a magazine article on how to make a live-usb)
- Using the live-media to download 'chntpw' and the steps used to clear/change a Windows local administrator password
- Rebooting into Windows and logging in with the local administrator account who's password has been cleared/changed
If you feel this would work for the magazine, I can have the article completed by the weekend the pitch has been approved. I'm unable to log into the Magazine's site right now from work, but I will write this pitch in there once I'm home.
Thanks and regards,
