I used Cain and Abel and it found my password when I dumped lsa secrets, my pass is long to, its 18 characters containing letters and special characters upper and lower case too. If C & A found my password so easily doesn't that mean someone could get my password just as easy remotely? I thought when u use a long password with special characters it would take someone a long time to get the password, how does C & a find the pass so quickly (less than a second)?

I have the registry key set to 1 for nolmhash in the registry (should that be in hexidecimal or decimal and does it even matter against c & a?)

I'd like to config my machine so it doesn't give up my pass so readily, any ideas on what I should do from here to make my comp more secure reguarding the password?

thanksin advance
