I'm pretty sure the SAM file is always in the config folder, not the drivers or Setup folders. Windows likes to keep things organized, you know?

I'm not sure, but I think it might be c:\\windows\\system32\\config\\SAM too

The SAM file is located in c:\\windows\\system32\\config\\SAM, not in any of the other locations mentioned. This is a basic Windows file structure knowledge.
