I don't think this is possible. I don't think that you're programmatically allowed to retrieve passwords from the NT user database. You could turn this on its head, and have your users change their NT passwords through a CF application, which could then write the entries to a database in addition to writing the changes to the NT user database. From a security perspective, this has its own problems, of course.
