yes, it is stored in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SECURITY, you need to be running as 
SYSTEM to be able to view it using REGEDIT.  You can use the tool 
"Cachedump"(http://www.cr0.net:8040/misc/cachedump.html) to dump the hashes and 
use the tool "cachebf" from www.toolcrypt.org to brute force the hash or better 
yet, you can use my favorite tool "cain and abel" from www.oxid.it to extract 
and brute force the encrypted hashes.  Alternatively, you can also use John the 
Ripper to brute force the hash but you have to install the patch.  There you go 
I gave you all the tools you need so good luck
