Hi fellow ISPs;

I need to find out what a user's previous password (the one before the
current user's password) was because I have a customer who had problem
loging to our system because of incorrect password and the customer
inssists that he did not forget his password. For now I have reset his
password (by taking a laptop to his office and loging to server through
ssh and let him punch his new password so only he knows it).
However I need to convince (and restore his confidence on our operations)
this customer that he realy did lose his password.
Where in the FreeBSD system files can I find clues as to what his 
previous password was? I know a FreeBSD system keeps track of
all activities and has answers to almost everything, well hope somebody
has run in to this problem before I did and has clue for me.

Thanks

Dan
