Unless they're AES 256, those passwords are going to get cracked. You can even copy the databases to multiple vms and hammer the encryption until you crack it.
More hilarous depending on scripting they may be in plain text format or crackable by hexidecmal .
Not giving passwords just makes you culpable; its not going to save your ass.
Even if they are AES 256, they'll still get cracked...The CIA and FBI have been strolling straight thru AES 256 for...well about a week after it got Popular....They have the best Hackers because once they catch them, they offer them a deal.....Work for US Govt or go to prison for 25+ years....
If I understand correctly, the Voter Machs have some version or parts of Windows installed...This alone creates a back door which should be easy to access and should give access to the SAM Fie under Config....
The Cyber Ninjas should already have some small but powerful program that goes in a back door, pulls the SAM File, runs a decode, and pulls out the actual Admin PW....Simple, easy, fast.....For all we know, they already have or had it, long before asking for it....

This was a Canadian company. Our stuff isn't as good ss US usually. Plus it was designed to be exploited. I would guess its hackable.
There is no such thing as an Unhackable Operating System, except the one that is stand Alone, and cannot be reached by anyone.....Literally.....
