John the Ripper
John the Ripper is a free password cracking software tool.
Initially developed for the UNIX operating system, it
currently runs on fifteen different platforms (11
architecture-specific flavors of Unix, DOS, Win32, BeOS, and
OpenVMS). It is one of the most popular password
testing/breaking programs as it combines a number of
password crackers into one package, autodetects password
hash types, and includes a customizable cracker. It can be
run against various encrypted password formats including
several crypt password hash types most commonly found on
various Unix flavors (based on DES, MD5, or Blowfish),
Kerberos AFS, and Windows NT/2000/XP/2003 LM hash.
Additional modules have extended its ability to include
MD4-based password hashes and passwords stored in LDAP,
MySQL and others.
Life is what happens in between plans.

Subject: -=PCTechTalk=- Password recovery
My partner needs to access a computer used by a former
employee thyat failed to keep a record of the password. I
searched the recent archives and could not find anything to
help recover or reset the password.
Does anybody have a favorite utility they use for this
purpose?
Thanks,
Don
