This fascinating although slightly alarming tutorial shows how you can recover Windows passwords by using a program called ophcrack, this apparently reads the Security Accounts Manager or SAM files to recover the password. It uses a Live CD which can be used in Windows XP or Vista. Apparently it may have a problem with really complicated passwords which is something to be aware of if you need to use it or if your looking to try and stop someone else using it on your machine! But hey, everyone has made a password recovery disk right?!
See you soon,
