    The cached passwords can be found and cracked by Cain. Downloadable from http://www.oxid.it/cain.html

    Betreff: Where are Windows "Enforce password history" passwords stored?

    Can anyone tell me where the "remembered" passwords are stored when
    the "Enforce password history" is set in Group Policy?

    If this setting is set to its maximum value of 24 then I would expect
    24 password hashes are stored for each account for the setting to
    work. But where?

    More importantly are there any tools/techniques for accessing the
    "remembered" passwords?

    Thanks
    CG
