Yes Anders,

On W2k you can shut of LM Hashes by adding the key HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa\NoLMHash (yes just a blank key)

And on XP by adding the value under LSA NoLMHash=1 HKLM\system\currentcontrolset\control\lsa\nolmhash=1

Remember these do not take affect until after the next time a password is changed, then it no longer stores the LM hash.

Also that ALT- character set I put in the original post, I could not get LC4 to reproduce/crack these no matter how short I made the password.

Cheers,

Dave
