scuzzman Posted May 1, 2005 Report Share Posted May 1, 2005 Those are very broad questions and are going to need further information to answer. Which Windows operating system are we referring to? If your referring to Win9x/Me the password data is stored in *.pwl files, and the resolution data in the Registry. In NT/2K/XP, it is encrypted and, I think, stored in the ntuser.dat files (verify this first -- I don't know but that seems a logical place as any). I believe the resolution is still stored in the registry as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boris Posted May 2, 2005 Report Share Posted May 2, 2005 Windows XP stores encrypted password hashes in the Windows Registry.If you can access the Registry you can use PWDump to view the password data.http://us1.samba.org/samba/ftp/pwdump/pwdump.exe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
