Set a Blank Password in Windows XP To Protect the Computer from Internet Attacks
Some useful information. Your Windows XP is more secure if you have not set a password for all that the password using a little weak as “abc123″ that can be easily guessed by hackers.
By using a blank password (or no password at all) makes your computer more secure because Windows XP accounts, which are not protected by a password, can not be accessed remotely via the network or Internet.
You need to be physically in front of the computer in order to obtain Because of this default behavior, it is better to leave a blank password assigned to an account XP rather than assigning a weakness, a word password difficult to guess.
A Microsoft official guide on the password by using force therefore suggests blank passwords on Windows XP, if the following criteria are met:
• You have a computer, or if you have multiple computers, but you do not need to access information on a computer from another
• The computer is physically safe (you trust all those who have physical access to the computer - as your family members)
The use of a blank password is not always a good idea, especially when the computer is not in a safe place. For example, a laptop, which you carry with you is probably not physically secure, so on those we should have a strong password.
Updated: If you want to access your computer XP Professional on the network, not after the password is empty, run gpedit.msc in the dialog box and turn off “Limiting the use of local account blank passwords to console login only “available under local policies
