We didn't know it. She left the 'old password' box blank, and it let her in. It's happened 2 or 3 times now. </p> http://www.winextra.com/forums/topic/8429#post-41983 Mon, 28 Dec 2009 08:00:23 +0000 Pierre 41983@http://www.winextra.com/forums/ <p>In order to change the password, you need to enter the old one. Admittedly the pop-up is stupid, but it doesn't have serious consequences. Anyhow, having physical access to a machine lets you do whatever you want with its contents, unless the disk is encrypted with BitLock </p> http://www.winextra.com/forums/topic/8429#post-41938 Mon, 28 Dec 2009 02:51:12 +0000 Billy 41938@http://www.winextra.com/forums/ <p>If an admin account on our Vista box is pass-protected, which it should be, and you enter the wrong pass X number of times, it seems a windows pops up that permits you to change the password and lets you into the admin account.</p> <p>This is MS's idea of security? </p>
