Is there a way to look into the local NT workstation registry or the PDC registry to see when a particular user has changed their password?

i think that the best way to do this, is go to the quickfind (in start menu) and search for '*.pwl' . Here you will find users password files (encoded) and then you will need to check the date modification from there.<br>

I hope this helps.<br>

I did not think that there were password files on NT4 workstations. I couldn't find any on mine!
you were right, i was thinking 95 terms, if you go to explorer, find winnt directory, then system32 and then config, then look for 2 files, security, and sam, these are the logs. i am looking now for a way to view these files. (sharing violation and all that). <br>
