When I tried to import hashes from my local PC using Windows Password Recovery, I get this error. It says failed to run local service: loader creation failure.
What does this mean? I ran the program as administrator and I am on windows 8.
The error may typically be caused by the following reasons:
You ran the program with restricted token of the UAC
You have no write permissions either to temporary directory or to the program's installation folder. For example, the program was installed under restricted user account.
You installed the program into EFS encrypted folder. The program uses a service to dump Windows hashes. The service file and the folder it resides within should not be encrypted.
You're trying to run the program remotely. There are certain restrictions there as well.
I would also appreciate if you send to support email your program's log file.
