can any one please help, member im a newbe so make it simple
i have one problem this is what most tutorals tell me "Go to whatever directory to have JTR in. Type 'john' and press enter. A whole list of options will come up" please help me what is this line exacly telling me
please just tell me what to type in.
thanks
 
You need to open your Command Prompt and change it to the directory you've got JTR in.

When you've got there, just type in 'john' (without the quotes) at the prompt, and the Command Prompt will bring up the "options", and you'll see them in the command window.

Hope that helps.

in command (not cmd) i type in: cd "C:\Documents and Settings\Kevin\My Documents\john171d\JOHN1701\RUN"

dos doesnt support spaces in your files/folders. put that file in the root of c:\ or make a folder for it in the root of c:\ so that you can access it from the command prompt (cmd)
