Hi Tufenuf,

As an FYI this Nir Sofer utility reveals only the passwords stored on the PC by IE,OE, and MSN Explorer. It doesn't reveal XP users Passwords.

BTW I don't believe it's possible to retrieve XP users passwords through DOS because the info is encrypted in the SAMS file.

"been trying User Password List as a command"

I don't think that's a DOS command.


If at first you don't succeed, you're about average.

Google for offline password recovery.

Rule #1: Good Computers don't go down.
Rule #2: There is no such thing as a good computer.
