Well, I did some more research into the NT password security issue and I discovered that I can get access to the Security section of the registry

How did you do that? The SECURITY section is always greyed out and the operating system will not allow you to change the permissions on it.

If you did indeed gain access to that area then you've probably found a flaw in the tamperproof capabilities of NT. - Andy

Andy, do you have Administrator privs on your NT system? I too seem to have full access to all registry entries, including all under Security. M$ may have some hidden areas in the registry (security by obscurity), but I can't see anything that says 'sorry, you can't look here'. Speaking for myself.
