seems to me this thread is going on in another group. The tool you mention
Malke, though good, will not return passwords other than your own. IE if you
cannot log on to the Admin account you cannot get the password for it.
Unofrtunately this is the persons problem someone has changed the Admin pw
on him and he only has a std user account to work with.

NTpasswd won't "return passwords" at all. Most simply, it is used to
change the built-in Administrator account password to a blank. Then one
logs in with that account and changes whatever other accounts'
passwords one wants.
