Hi Vlad,

This is interesting. How does you check, if you don't mind me asking, to see if the password is correct? Since this can be done programmatically, it would, theoretically, seem to be a possible security problem since you could write routines to construct and cycle thru passwords until it found a match. Correct?

>I can send you an eval copy of my NTControls library. It allows you to check if a certain password is correct. As others already said, there's no way to retrieve a user's password, you can only verify that the one you have is correct.
