javipas writes "An insightful article at Jeff Atwood's Coding Horror reveals the power inside Ophcrack, an Open Source program that is capable of discover virtually any password in Windows operating systems. The article explains how passwords get stored on Windows using hash functions, and how Ophcrack is capable of generate inmense tables of words and letter combinations that are compared to the password we want to obtain. The program is available in Windows, Mac OS and Linux, but be careful: the generated tables that Ophcrack uses are really big, and you should need up to 15 Gbytes to store these tables."
