    Passwords can be scripted from files.

    There is no particular difficulty with this.

    The difficult part is to EXTRACT a password,
    which requires something like ADMTv2 or a
    third party tool if you are extracting passwords
    to move them to a new domain.

    However, if you have the list (or can generate
    it, e.g., randomly) it isn't a big problem.
