To the best of my knowledge, you can't get the Windows password for the user. That would be a pretty serious violation of the Windows authentication model, in which password should never be directly retrievable. Assuming you're using Windows authentication within IIS instead of Basic Authentication, the password itself is never sent from the browser to the server - only a hash of that password is sent. I'm not exactly sure what you mean by "use the NT login info" for your queries. Do you use Windows authentication against a SQL Server database from CF?
