That is correct, but I have seen it suggested to delete .pwl file and reboot to make system have no password, but I think thats on win98...

just do a search for .pwd
it will find all of the password files and show you their location...
hope this helps...

Since they are encrypted, you wont be able to see them. So you will need to get a password cracker to find out the passwords or a decrypter or whatever..
