RE: Where are Windows "Enforce password history" passwords stored?

On a non-dc there stored in the SAM database (not sure where they are
stored on a DC).
Check out Lab 2.2 in this presentation
http://www.citi.umich.edu/projects/itss/lectures/lecture-07.ppt 
The fifth slide (within Lab 2.2) points to the password history.

Subject: Where are Windows "Enforce password history" 
passwords stored?

Can anyone tell me where the "remembered" passwords are 
stored when the "Enforce password history" is set in Group Policy?

If this setting is set to its maximum value of 24 then I would expect
24 password hashes are stored for each account for the 
setting to work.  But where?

More importantly are there any tools/techniques for accessing 
the "remembered" passwords?

Thanks
CG
