aggressive form of password protection can be used to limit access to
your system and files. If this password is enabled at boot, it will restrict
the computer from booting unless your password is provided. It will not,
however, protect your data if the drive is removed and placed into another
machine. See above for information about setting this password.
Windows 98 Passwords: These are designed primarily to distinguish
between multiple users of a machine and to load that user’s preferences.
It does not offer any significant protection of your data. The password
screen can be bypassed by pressing the [Esc] key, when loading Windows
and allowing access to all of your files.
Windows 2000 Passwords: Windows 2000 comes equipped with an array
of security features that allow an administrator (or the user designated as
one) to limit access by specific users. The password can be bypassed by
pressing the [Esc] key when loading Windows, which then allows access to
all of your files.
Screen Saver Password: If you use a screen saver in Windows, you can
set the system to require a password to resume normal functioning. This
can be used to protect your current session from a casual observer, but it
does not provide any substantial security.
Network/ISP passwords: These passwords are used to restrict use of
your network or modem connection. Although many programs, including
Windows’s Dial-up Networking, allow you to store these passwords so
that you will not have to enter them every time you connect, you should
consider how secure your environment is before storing such passwords.
If you work in a sensitive environment, you might want to clear lists
of recently used documents or recently visited web sites. There are tools
included on the Windows CD that provide such protection. Check
Windows documentation for information about such features.
