Hello list this might be an easy question to answer but have anyone been 
sucessful 
in using windows built in default accounts when doing a password audit. I
know  most
xp machines has (help assitant and support_xxxxxxxx). Is their a default

there some where with various vendor OS  passwords, or a way to figure out the
password for these accounts.

You can try to crack them through normal means, but it'd likely be a futile
act since a) they are randomized and *extremely* complex (as far as I
recall) and b) even my ~13 year old knows to restrict these accounts.  There
are clueless admins out there though, so, *shrug*.
