Either their maiden name or a pets name. Sometimes even use their friends last name.

They have a password reset disk and therefore use it when you arent home to reset your password everytime you are away you need to either find it. So log in as you and put in a password with special characters like%*!@ with words and numbers then you and change it then you will have a strong password but then go to the users prompt and create a password reset disk for the password that you just created and then theirs shouldnt work anymore. I hope that this works also make sure they have a limited account and not a administer account on the computer otherwise they can change it anytime they feel like it.

If the frequently used websites are not financial websites you can either choose the option of remebering password and login information...A Fine rule of thumb Stop being lazy and fill it out everytime. Thiers people out thier who fish on your internet line and keep cookies and other data packets with sniffer programms that read thru your recent history. That is how identity theft is done.\nJohn\nA+ Certified Professional

Weak passwords are:\n\n- Numbers\n- Letters\n- NumbersLetters\n- LettersNumbers\n\nA good strong password is usually long (>8 characters), and consists of randomly alternating numbers and letters. Examples:\n\nrt56tyi92k1e\n9dfj3p203\n\nAnd so on. With passwords, caps and small letters mean little. So doing something like hERo45 is still a weak password (as weak as hero45).

No problems with mine, it's more user dependant than anything... just create a strong password and keep your system clean of virii/keyloggers... and don't give it out eh?

yes for sure. Use a password with lots of numbers and letters, its a pain in the but but worth it. And change your password frequently.

The password is purchased by a user of their services. It is specific to each user and not a general one. Excessive use of a password, such as might be generated should someone share it or hack it, could result in the passowrd's termination.

Two of the major methods for hacking your password are brute forcing/dictionary attacks, where an attacker will just try every combination until they get your password, or keylogging, where an attacker will trick you into installing a keylogger on your machine to record passwords.\n\nThe first solution would be to use a strong password. Instead of making your password 'himypassword123' make it 'himypassword123himypassword123himypassword123'. Believe me that is going to take MUCH longer to brute force open.\n\nThe second solution could be to use a virtual keyboard. If you open the accessibility screen in control panel you will have the option to use an on-screen keyboard, for which keys will not be recorded.\n\nThe best defence though is to ensure your computer is up to date with the latest updates, anti-virus software and a firewall.

Ok this question has plauge computer users for quite some time we all know that passwords should be atleast 4 - 8 charaters long include caps , numbers , not be in the dictionary and be difficult to guess , the problem is how can we use all that and still remember the password , well it's easy  Take 2 items from your desk memory names maybe two items you can remember , now take an important date once agian something you can remember now you have three items seprate anyone could guess your password however if you mix them together you have a very long and difficult password for anyone or thing ( program) to guess and you can remember let me give and example\n\non my desk i have a stuffed cat and a dog and my birthday is in 1976 ( not really) i also like dogs more then cats\n\nif we say dogs are bigger then cats we can change dog to DOG and cats remains the same now also DOGS are better then cats so we start with that\n\nwe could make the pass\nDOGcat1976  now thats not all that strong so lets mix it up a bit\n\n19DcOaGt76  by intertwinging the letters and putting the first part of the date before everything else and the last part at the end we have a very secure password.

I find the best password contains small letters, capital letters, numbers, symbols and it being random.\n\nAs brute forcers go a... b... c... I start a password with a capital Z and then have a pattern e.g.\n\nZgeek-99*\n\n8662995818654939 posibilities with a 9 character password

All passwords should be at least 8 random characters long. Use both upper and lower case letters and add in numbers and punctuation marks too. \n\nDo not use common words such as "love". These are too easily guessed. Do not use anything that other person would know, such as the name of your dog, your spouse or your kids. \n\nUse both a good anti-virus and anti-spyware and scan on a regular basis. Pay particular attention if they find a "keylogger". A keylogger will record your every key stroke and take a screen -shot of every site that you visit.\n\nThere are also hardware keyloggers. Make sure nothing "extra" is ever connected between your computer and your keyboard. For real sensitive data, you can use the built in On Screen Keyboard which is much more difficult to keylog.\n\nGood luck.

Get into the control panel and get into User Accounts and then click on the one that you're using. Then there is a setting there that you can set the password with. Hope this helps! Please select a best answer.
