Jay,

Please try to quote less context in your responses.  Please only quote
whatever is relevant.  E-mail signatures of people, for example, and not
relevant to responses.

Those with ":1" and ":2" are not separate accounts.  They refer to LM

While the output of John cracking sessions can be informative, that's
not what you should be using to obtain the cracked passwords.  Use
"john --show SAM.txt" instead - this will combine the halves for you.
