NT 4 passwords are easily cracked with L0phtcrack 3, amongst other things.
Win2k password are not easy to crack though, first of all you do not have
access to the SAM database when the OS is running, so forget bruteforcing.
Second, if Syskey is activated, you can forget about cracking the password,
period. Even that Linux bootdisk can't change the password then.
