This should *never* need to be done outside the normal Windows
authentication process. I do show a way to do this on my site, but I suggest
you instead use http://vbnet.mvps.org/code/network/lookupaccountname.htm
which does not require the user to enter their password but rather requests
they enter the username used to log on to the domain. If the username
entered is correct (the SID for the user and the current SID are the same),
the username entered was used to log on to the system.

Read http://vbnet.mvps.org/code/network/acceptsecuritycontext.htm to see the
reasons for not asking for the user's pw.

: Could anyone advise if it is possible to re-verify a users NT password 
from a VB6 application?

: I just want the user to type the password into a form and then verify if 
this matches the NT password, i.e. just return a boolean to me (I don't 
want/need to see the value of the password).
