Salt is a "random" string that is concatenated with passwords before
being operated on by the hash function.
As I recall windows doesn't use salts.
Pressing enter will show you the current status of john, when it has a
guess it will come out with the guess in parenthese and the username
next to it something like:
Loaded 2 passwords with no different salts (NT LM DES [24/32 4KI])
(cantguessthis) administrator
etc.
