Password restore

[Harrison]

Very true. Windows isn't that secure by default. It is why most businesses use domain based accounts.

Fir home users though, they don't really need anything more. Most personal data held on a home computer isn't that sensitive compared to business users, and the basic Windows password protection is enough to keep sisters, brothers or prying friends out of your account and files. Whilst at the same time being weak enough to bypass with a disc like HiRens by someone with a bit more knowledge if the password is forgotten, meaning not all is lost if the owner does get into trouble logging in.

Mines secure. It's insured so if someone nicks it I'll get a better one.Yes I do realise you're on about security and how safe are passwords but I thought I'd scare people and make them think I'm a bigger moron than I actually am.

I'm the only one using my computer, so all passwords are disabled here.

[Harrison]

Same for me. I configure my systems to boot directly to the desktop.

I don't use passwords either. Main PC is running 24/7 anyway.
