You can use John the Ripper (free) or (and I hesitate to mention
this, because of @stake's recent horrible behavior) LC4
(formerly L0phtcrack) which costs money.  (I think l0phtcrack
used to be free, if I'm not mistaken.)

Why you should cease business with @stake:

There are other password cracking programs.  They're just a google 
search away.  Are you scared yet?
