I think MacPassword! by Art Schumer is excellent. You can get a demo via anonymous ftp from nic.funet.fi I have used it for a while and I'm very satisfied with it. I haven't succeeded in breaking the code. One thing you must always remember, though, is: Close all windows and select "Shut down" before shut down. The MacPassword! is shareware, i.e. you get an order form with the demo. The price is $40 and it's really worth it. A program I don't recommend is Night Watch. It's quite easy to crack.
