You should always use complex passwords - that way it makes life difficult for any potential hacker ! Never use short passwords like 'fred' or '1234'... they are far too easy for someone to guess. As a minimum - use 10 digits and/or numbers... preferably a mixture - for example, combining your birthday with the name of your first pet. Unless someone knows you intimately, they're unlikely to guess your password, Oh - and - if you must write it down, never keep it where it can easily be found (for example in the drawer of your computer desk !)

Where are windows login passwords stored within a computer and how can it be recovered?

Since Windows NT, 2000, and later, Windows' user passwords are stored in the Security Accounts Manager (SAM), which is a part of the system registry. To my knowledge, it is not possible to recover or alter user passwords while Windows is running. Windows passwords may be set or reset by booting the PC on a separate operating system, and editing the registry. A tool that can do this may be found here: http://home.eunet.no/pnordahl/ntpasswd/ Read all information on the website and the FAQ. Download the ISO file, burn a CD from the downloaded file, boot your PC from the CD, and follow the instructions. It's best to reset ("blank") a user password, and change it to the desired password after rebooting to Windows. I've used this application for several years with excellent results. Works with Windows NT/2k/XP/Vista.
