Subject:  I can't see the passwords - beginner's question - sorry

I hope someone can spend the time to answer an absolute beginner's question.  Just out of curiosity, I thought I'd try out John the Ripper on my Windows XP machine.  I already know the passwords are easily guessable, but there's nothing of interest on the machine, and I just wanted to see how quickly it would get them.  I can't understand why I'm not seeing the passwords when it tells me it cracked them. I just used the basic wordlist, knowing that at least some of the passwords are in that.
  (By the way, I've changed the numbers slightly)
  First I ran pwdump2 as follows:
   C:\PROGRA~1\pwdump2>pwdump2

10 password hashes cracked, 0 left
  I can't understand this output.  Why does it tell me it cracked the password hashes, but doesn't show me the passwords?  From the doc, I thought they should be between the first two colons, but there's nothing there.
  Hope someone can help.
  Thanks
