Reset Windows Password: Windows media forensics


The Windows Media Forensics tool analyzes and displays in a human-readable format Windows photo and video artifacts stored by the Windows Photos application. The Windows Photo library provides a heap of information that could be handy for investigators in a digital forensic analysis.

The Windows Photos is available in Windows 10 and later OSes. The application's database resides at:
C:\Users\%user%\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.Windows.Photos_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalState\MediaDb.v1.sqlite

Additional Photo, Video and Media databases can be found at the following locations:
C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.ZuneVideo_8wekyb3d8bbwe
C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.ZuneMusic_8wekyb3d8bbwe


You can use the program's Backup feature to save the data for future analysis.
