wrong ... completely wrong ..

modified steps
1. right click my computer
2. click on manage
3. go to local users and groups -> users
4. right click administrator account -> set password

if your restricted account doesnot allow you to open management console then go here
*home.eunet.no/~pnordahl/ntpasswd/

but well well well ... i think i got it all wrong .. u just want to know the existing password

Brute force & dictionary attack are Rubbish.
Real Hackers know how to retrive password from the ######!
