Stored passwords on stolen laptop
We recently had a notebook stolen. How many domain passwords does a XP pro
client store. How secure are those passwords? I would be hard pressed to remember how domain users have used that notebook. Do I need to have everybody reset their passwords? Thanks, Zed |

Yes its extremely easy to crack any passwords even those with both numbers
and letters in a matter of minutes literally, the programs that do this are also free downloads so anyone can get thier hands on them, I would immediately have them changed and sorry about the loss.
