Hidden password generator in Windows XP

[migaramk]

These days it seems as though everybody is a computer security expert, or needs to be anyway. Picking a good strong password is always a challenge, and there are many online services that will generate you a very strong password with letters, numbers, misc characters ($%*&#@!), etc, but did you know Windows XP has a built-in password generator of its own?



The folks over at Microsoft didn’t really make this feature very obvious to find, namely as it is more of a computer administrator tool than for something a ‘regular joe’ would need, but I don’t understand why. Something like this would be very useful, especially if you share a single PC, or have a number of computers on a network which contain sensitive data, or with the potential for its security to be breached.

So, how do you find and use it? Simple:



Go to Run on the Start menu and type ‘cmd’ (without the quotes)
a dos command prompt window will open.
At the command prompt type ‘net user administrator /random’ (without the quotes)

Based upon Windows XP’s on security rules, it will generate you a fairly solid password for you to use

you didn't write it you just copy from a site am I correct? check there are loads of sites contain same information about this in google http://www.google.lk/#hl=en&source=...gle+Search&meta=&aq=f&oq=&fp=bd9b6f9e9bee17a4

I'm telling u try to give credits to the original writer or if u can't find original writer at least post link to site that you copied from and sometimes you have to get permission from writer to put articles on other sites keep it in mind and ask for permissions when need that's the ethical way (I'm talking about ethical way of posting those things. You can skip those steps but it's not ethical) Try to understand
