February 13, 200719 yr good pointthe application I was looking for was http://ophcrack.sourceforge.net/Oh, I see. I never needed/had the occasion to use it, usually resetting the password is more than enough, however the size of Rainbow Tables appears to be impressive:SSTIC04-5k is a large one (720MB) for machines having atleast 500M of RAM.SSTIC04-10k is a smaller table set (388MB) for machines having less than 500M of RAM.The time to download one of them on a non-DSL connection (and even on a DSL one) should be quite relevant.Maybe it is easier/faster to use pwdump2/3/4/5/6: http://www.openwall.com/passwords/microsof...nt-2000-xp-2003and use the online form:http://lasecwww.epfl.ch/~oechslin/projects...crack/index.php?jaclaz
