    You can't get the users password, people may try and tell you about SAM file hacking and all that sort of stuff, and there are programs that do it, but as for an API call that can retrieve a users password - Microsoft are sometimes dumb - but they aren't that dumb!

    the closest you can get is to use the LSA API - but you still can't read the password....

    fast enough for you?
