Hi,
I want to know how does the windows XP stores the passwords for the user
accounts.
Just like Unix,solaris stores them in etc/passwd and etc/shadow files
encrypted in MD5 hashed format.
Windows NT handles it by SAM.
Can I know some information regarding WINDOWS XP password management as
mentioned above for others.
Thank You.
Abhijit
