Cracking passwords! Anything better?

Another nail in the coffin for your own security.  Researchers demonstrate just how long your Windows passwords are secure for - about 13.6 seconds, that's all.  Read about it here.

not my passwords

I specifically use at least two 'alt' chars. Makes passwords almost uncrackable. Oh and they are at least 12 characters in length.

I use fairly slim passwords..... I'd rather the practicality of use over a one-off breakin.....

Why bother. Go here (http://home.eunet.no/~pnordahl/ntpasswd/), download CD image, burn to CD, boot from CD, select password to change, set password of selected account to whatever you want, save, reboot, have your wicked way with machine :-)

I have used this several times in anger. It works extremely well.

yes, but it requires physical access to your machine.

if a cracker has access to your machine then you're screwed anyway.
