Thanks guys for your help! I was watching the latest ep of hak5 and I am really interested in what Darren was talking about. I need to get the hash that is stored on my friends computer. I don't know how to do this, but I know that when I run Ophcrack it automatically shows the MD5 hash, so I'm going to use it to get the MD5 hash. I'll then run BarsWF on his computer from the standard account. I forget to mention he does have one other account - a standard account that can't do jack shit. So hopefully I don't need administrative rights to execute this BarsWF program. If all goes well I'll be able to recover his pwd. Also, Vako: I don't want to change his password as I mentioned earlier because he has EFS encrypted data. But I would like to know of software to gain administrative rights or give admin rights to a standard account without changing pwds. THANKS AGAIN EVERYONE!!!!!!!!!!
