If you guys are interested, I wrote another similar article on GeeksAreSexy. I'm the author of the one posted previously also Smiley.

Cracking your Windows SAM Database in Seconds with Ophcrack 2
http://geeksaresexy.blogspot.com/2006/04/cracking-your-windows-sam-database-in.html

This software only works if the passwords are stored in the SAM database using an LM Hash password presentation.

If you ever want to force windows to store your password using NT Hash, follow this small guide:

pretty good article, there is really no excuse this day and age for allowing weak passwords with active directory and the ease you can manage users and passwords.

auditing is a good thing, especially since alot of times administrators override the security settings for their own passwords.
