Computer Security

Computer can accept 40 to 80 characters as password. Construct a complicated password with alpha numerals and special characters, so that cracking the password will be difficult. Normal passwords are cracked with built in dictionary. Use acronyms related to self as password. e.g. - date of birth, first 3 letters of name, last 4 letters of favorite movie etc.

A 36 character password takes minimum 12*10^8 years to discover !. Use truly random combination, hard to remember & longer passwords. Change the default password at the earliest. e.g. - system, test, demo, instrument, hello, admin, guest, sysadmin etc.

In windows 95, Escape key bypasses the password.
