Andy, do you have Administrator privs on your NT system? I too seem
to have full access to all registry entries, including all under Security.
M$ may have some hidden areas in the registry (security by obscurity),
but I can't see anything that says 'sorry, you can't look here'.
Speaking for myself.

Whoops, it seems that I had auto-refresh switched off in regedt32 so I didn't
see the immediate effect of my changes. Yes I can see them now, time to
investigate the SAM subkey I think.
