windows password

1.) i want to make sure the user is aware of his windows login password and verify that through a text control. would it be possible to compare the entered password with the actual password (i take it even windows doesn't save it as plain text).

2.) is it possible to check first, whether the user is using an empty password (as many windows xp user do). i don't want the user to guess wildly, if he hasn't got a password in the first place.

the reason why i need the user to be aware of a password is, that the one option in my installer disables the autologin of windows. however, many users don't read what settings they have specified (and complain afterwards - of course). the above would allow me to have a more idiot proof installer.

any help appreciated!
