Can you find the password of other computer users?

This may sound kind of odd, but once you've entered onto your computer through the hidden administrator account (holding F8 at startup) is it possible to find out the password of another adminstrator power account on the computer? This is a troubling security issue.

Its called cain and able. Get the one for XP. its the second link in the middle.



Its worked for me before and I used it at work when they lost an admin and needed password access for accounts. from windows logon to email.



who ever gave me the thumbs down, either doesn't understand the answer or windows well enough.



Oh, I guess maybe they don't understand the software, its not easy, but with that much power, what else do you expect.



ok maybe security software, or anit virus software don't like cain and able, but DUH!! thats because it can get almost all passwords used in windows and it does it well.



Look at the answers below, there's even a SECOND suggestion for cain and able.



jeez people I mean really now.

Yes, if you know how to.
Hi,



this is not a security issue. Normaly windows will ask you to type an administrator password when installing it. the problem came from computers who ships with already installed os (with admin blank password), and then yes like the other said, using any program like cain and abel, lophtcrack even LSAdump will do the work.
no, but you can set an admin password so that other users can go into the admin account.
