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.

SAM

Uncle, a tall, lean, good-natured rich man who sets paces
and spends his money.  Born July 4, 1776, S. Great Britain.
Godfathered by France.  Was an impetuous baby.  Education:
School of experience at Washington.  S. was assisted in early
life by a number of men who took an interest in him.  When
thirty-six years of age he chastised his mother, but later
became on excellent terms. Went in for land and colonization
business.  Succeeded.  At the age of eighty-four S. suffered
from a severe attack of internal indiscretion. Recuperated
slowly.  Later entered the trust-raising business, and devoted
considerable time to politics.  In 1897 he spanked a European
power, but had to take care of the children after the incident.
S. is either Republican or Democratic.  Favors the former,
although once in awhile he desires change.  Wore a goatee, long
hair, high hat, a suit made out of the flag, smoked cigarettes,
had bad manners, and used much slang.  Publications:  Bank
notes.  Ambition:  Another Republican president.  Address:
Washington, D. C., U. S. A. Epitaph:  (If he ever gets one he
deserves it.)
