I think this is a great tutorial. There are just a few minor glitches that I had to change before I could crack my win2k password. REMEMBER, this is WINNT and the windows dir is not WINDOWS, it is WINNT or /mnt/hda1/WINNT/SYSTEM32/config/sam

I also couldn't install Cain because I didnt have administrative access, so SAMInside works, but is very slow.

I wonder if there is any way of deciphering the hashes - an algo or something - and then it will only be a matter of seconds before the password is cracked.

You didn't mention (for people that might not know) about running knoppix in runlevel 2

Great tutorial otherwise.
