samba - Mar 2008 - Recovering Windows computer account string

Greetings-

We utilize the smbpasswd text file back end. One machine (VM machine) suddenly
thinks its entry in the Samba PDC's smbpasswd file is no longer correct. Is
there a way to fetch that number back out of
a Windows 2000 workstation and "paste" it into the smbpasswd file to
re-trust the workstation?

Thanks!

It might be easier to remove the system from the domain and re-add it to 
the domain...

Except I have several copies of this VM saved, so rejoining one fixes one VM
only.

If it is troublesome to extract the string from Windows, then I will junk all of
the snapshots and start over.
