it is possible, but it takes a little effort. from what I understand, the passwords are encrypted. There are ways around this if you don't mind them knowing that you have been there. But otherwise, short of finding and using a utility that will find and decrypt the limited user passwords, you will be hard pressed to do it yourself. And the limited user account does throw an extra hurdle in the track. Most utilities will find the admin password, but don't go for the limited accounts. So if you take this route, look through the descriptions and make sure they will do this.
