    Interesting problem. 
    
    I was trying to use pwdump3 to download the hashes from an NT server. The
    problem is that this server will not allow access to the admin share.
    However I was able to gain access to the C$ using Hyena and a admin
    equivalent user account which also does not have access to the admin share.
    I was able to access the repair directory and get the compressed sam and
    expanded it. The file appears to be encrypted using the Syskey. Any ideas on
    how to get pass the encryption. I thought that there was a way to use
    pwdump3 to do this but its looking for a server name not a file name.
