You can find your SID (the "proper info" from above), by scanning through
the following registry key:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList

Choose the one where ProfileImagePath contains your $USERNAME.

Obviously, we should try to fix mkpasswd/mkgroup to work in these
"strange" environments, if possible.  But, at least the archives have
a reference for the desperate now. :,)
