Well I have a big problem with users in my office so i need to read my
security accuont manager(SAM) folder I like to know if there is any way or
any software to read that folder

The SAM is not a folder, it's a file. You can read it with any
binary lister while Windows is not active, e.g. when booting
the machine with a Bart PE CD. However, this won't do you
any good because the passwords stored in the SAM are
encrypted.

What actually is your "big problem"?
