Re: where are xp passwords stored

Thank you for your clarification of the XP encryption thang.

I was asking for some clarification of this phrase:
"exceedingly vague phrase "xp user passwords"

So, FMI: What other "xp user passwords" are there than logon passwords?

Thank you for your response. Exactly what I needed.

FMI: What other "xp user passwords" are there than logon passwords?

For ultimate there are folder and file encryped xp passwords. But are these considered xp user passwords?

Can you be (much) more specific?

If, by exceedingly vague phrase "xp user passwords," you mean those of the user accounts for logging into a WinXP OS, they're encrypted within the C:\Windows\System32\Config\SAM file.

The only kind of a password is a string of characters which allows access to a particular account.
Folders do not have passwords in XP.
The "file encrypted xp password" does not exist. I presume that you meant the encryption key for the Encrytped File System.
