    Thanks, good info.
    
    What I was wondering is whether i could order a card with the same number as
    another card and get access to what that card has access to.
    Or if there is aditional info stored on the card (location, unique company
    code, etc.) to prevent that.
    The cards here were bought in two different batches, one is in the 26000
    range and the other in a much lower range. I dont know if you can specify
    the range when you order them, but if you can i thought that if i could get
    the number of the back of a admin card i could gain  access to the building.

    Interesting that you should mention this, because I just worked with 
    someone who put a system like this in.
    
     From what I could tell, the 5 digit number on the card is the only 
    identifier, although I think it's pretty difficult to replicate these 
    cards.  I've wondered about collisions, but I guess until you got upwards 
    of 5-10 thousand employees, the chances of a collision/birthday effect are 
    low.  It would be interesting to see if you could request a certain number 
    from a distributor.
    
    Some further interesting info form the northern site 
    (http://www.nciaccessworld.com):
    "The default login and password are: Log In = Admin Password = (leave 
    blank) no password If the default login and password are no longer in the 
    software please contact Northern Computers technical support so a 
    technician can instruct you how to send the database to Northern Computers 
    so we can reset it to default for you. "
          and....
    "The defualt passwords for WIN-PAK are: login = SYSTEM password = startup 
    These passwords are case sensitive. "
    
    There are also manuals there if you need them.  The product is based of an 
    access database, so I can't imagine that snagging the password would be 
    that difficult if it's not a default password.  If the workstation is 
    accessible from the network, or it's physically insecure, there may be some 
    leverage there too.
