Interesting, I had put together the LM = Lan Manager bit but didn't know 
what it did. I also found it strange that it was not in unicode.  
Apparently this is not so much a string as an indentifier.  Although, I 
thought this login session was straight password (not domain auth). Again, 
we need some enlightenment from Stephan regarding the password.

Cheers,
