I am using NT workstation 4.0, and I have copied the sam._ database from the repair directory, so I am pretty sure that it is compressed && encrypted, and I have tried the evaluation version of l0phtcrack but I need to brute force it, and in order to do that I need the registered version. What I'm asking is that can you download the sam database from the link provided Sam database
and email me what the admin password || tell me another program that will do it in which I don't have to buy. I can't afford an app right now (just bought some hardware and software).

Hi there,
What are you actually trying to acheive? If you have lost the admin password to your NT box then there is a good util that can be downloaded from here: http://home.eunet.no/~pnordahl/ntpasswd/bootdisk.html Its a linux kernel on a floppy that will let you reset the password.

I have forgotten my NT password and have booted under guest and copied the SAM database out of the repair folder, and I need to get the password out. Your program looks good but the guy said that the latest version corrupts files. Please get the database from my site or tell me another program

If you read the site carefully you will see that the warning regarding file corruption was for an earlier version.
I've used this util before and so have a few other people I know, In my opinion it it the easiest and quickest way -- to retrieve a lost admin password that is.

Thanks that linux boot disk works well, my friend said that it would take an hour when more like it took 5 minutes! Out of interest how did you get l0phtcrack? Did you crack the demo version or did you pay for it or did you download the full version somewhere ( do they deserve money or should be it pirated? )
