I've searched all over searching engines. That's right! AND STILL no Windows 2000 Password Finder/Recover The keywords might eaisly be found on google but the software always SETS a new password to the system but never recover's it

Windows Encryption can't be that hard to crack can it? Recovering a basic password shouldn't be hard! :/

the password is stored in a .sam file. you cannot edit this file or tamper with it while the file is being used, which is when the OS it is tied to is runing.

An Excellent password recovery tool for NT based systems is L0phtcrack from @Stake Software

Good luck, if theres a password there, L0phtcrack will find it.

That's a great utility! Didn't know if I should have posted it or not, but, Aaron posted it instead!

But if you use this utility, its best to blank the password!

Agreed. A great utility. Also to consider: if installed on a FAT32 partition, you can manually deleted the the file and to blank the password.

c:winnt\system32\config
