Figured out which key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE_SAM ... but it is unreadable and a pain to make it readable without some serious hacking..
Anyone have scripts to check whether local admin password is what I think it is supposed to be... Doing an audit of our computers.

Not sure how you'd do it with a script. Maybe VB script.
But you could log onto a machine in the domain w\out DOmain admin rights and then unc the the C$ share.
You will be prompted for a name and password. Do the following
User:localcomputername\localAdminName
Password: local admin password
easy, right?
