Wherever and whenever you log on to any Windows workstation or servers you leave your password credentials behind. The common knowledge is that when we set up our password in Windows it is hashed and stored either in SAM or a ntds.dit database in Active Directory. This is useful for verification purposes, but if your operating system can re-use the password it means others can decrypt it! Another thing is that when a hash is cached may be reused for authentication later.
