If you forget your passwords than all is not lost. Here is a program that will help. Read on to find out more about this powerful sys admin tool.
LC4 - The Password Auditing and Recovery Application
LC4 is the latest version of the award-winning password auditing and recovery application, L0phtCrack. It provides two critical capabilities to Windows® network administrators:
* LC4 helps administrators secure Windows-authenticated networks through comprehensive auditing of Windows NT and Windows 2000 user account passwords.
* LC4 recovers Windows user account passwords to streamline migration of users to another authentication system or to access accounts whose passwords are lost.
Security experts from industry, government, and academia cite weak passwords as one of the most critical internet security threats. But while many administrators recognize the danger of passwords based on family or pet names, fewer recognize that even savvy users expose networks to risk due to inadequate passwords. Consider that at one of the largest technology companies, where policy required that passwords exceed 8 characters, mix cases, and include numbers or symbols...
* L0phtCrack obtained 18% of the passwords in 10 minutes
* 90% of the passwords were recovered within 48 hours on a Pentium II/300
* The Administrator and most Domain Admin passwords were cracked
It doesn't have to be this way. Crack-resistant passwords are achievable and practical. But password auditing is the only sure way to identify user accounts with weak passwords. LC4 offers an easy and adaptable way to address this threat and find vulnerable passwords.
