Topic: Read User Password

[ronaldson40]

I would like to view the passwords set by my Domain Users.... These passwords reset every 30 days....

Is it possible...

I have basically setup Remote Access to the XP stations and have given access to certain Domain users.. Now on certain occasions, when these Domain USers want me to sort some problems in their user account, basically some troubleshooting, email setup,etc, I physically cannot go to their workstations and solve them.... I have to login using their domain username and password.... I dont want them to reveal their passwords over mail or phone. I should be able to locate them and use them to login into the terminal session using their userid and password. Is their a repository in the SME server where these passwords are stored....

Regards
Ronald

No.

Yes there is, but the passwords are stored encrypted, and the encryption is not reversible (it's a hash, in other words). Hence 'no' is the correct answer.
