   System Account Manager
   SAM
      <cryptography, operating system, security> (SAM) A password
      database stored as a registry file in Windows NT and
      Windows 2000.
      The System Account Manager (SAM) database stores users'
      passwords in a hashed format.  Since a hash function is
      one-way, this provides some measure of security for the
      storage of the passwords.  In an attempt to enhance the
      security of the SAM database against offline cracking,
      Microsoft introduced the SYSKEY utility in Windows NT 4.0.
