Password generator in windows xp
Did you know that windows xp has a built in password generator that generates really strong passwords?
A strong password is one that adheres to the following criteria.
- is more than 8 characters in length
- is not found in any dictionary
- it contains alphanumeric and non-alphanumeric (such as ‘>’) characters
To access the password generator go to the command prompt and type the following command:
cmd /k net user administrator /random
This will generate a random and very secure password. Make sure you record this somewhere safe as it will change your local Administrator password to what was generated.

If you have Windows XP, why do you use linux?
Basically I dont see any advantages to using linux over windows xp, Im dual booting windows
and ubuntu. Ubuntu is nice and all but I dont see anything that would make me prefer it
over windows.The only thing i have been using ubuntu for is web browsing playing
music/movies (cant play games) which I can do better/hassle free in windows.
So what are the advantages of l using linux over xp?

1. It’s free
2. It’s inherently more secure
3. There is an enourmous amount of quality free apps available for linux
4. It’s cool
5. Did I mention that linux is free? :)
