So which password file are you looking for? Screensaver? MS Word? Or the actual user lists?

3ted, 2day, 2morrow...a rampant word abbreviation practice in our country (Phil.) Originated from text messages (another rampant practice here) people tried compressing words to minimize the text messaging costs..funny but thats how we adjust to our poverty infested third world country.

ok but ppl can afford a mobile phone? I thought these abbreviations were to speed up the typing of the message, drop un needed vowels etc..
So I know 2day is today.. but 3ted is that "threeted" "Eted" ahhh "treated" ("tree-ted").. ahhh got it.. Read the BLOODY HOW TO POST FAQ... Geez.. Ok sorry.. bad mood.. Inglish is not the first lang.. ooops English is not the first Language.. BUT "SMS-a-lese" is not my first language.. "Techn-a-lese" is mine..
Well XP won't store its own passwords in the registry..
The Files are ENCRYPTED and Stored in another file.. now a question was asked as to what sort of password you are talking about.. that will determine which file the password is stored..
Do a google on SAM and that will give you more information than I can here
Cheers
