Hi, just posting my little story here.
A Friend recently had a laptop for some reason or another and it was set up by an engineer (shes not brilliant with computers). anyway, the guy who set it up left the password on the accoutn when he left and she couldn't use it, me being the local geek i was asked for help, lol. Anyway, to prove how insecure Windows XP is, all i had to do was boot in safe mode, go into the account that way (No p/w in safe mode?) go to users and click remove password, reboot and hey presto, password free account was this jsut a one off or is XP really this insecure? I thought MS had learned their lesson after 98 when all ya had to do was press Alt + Esc a few times at login?
Anyway, MS security fails again.
