windows user account hacking

Be cautious while give ur system to anonymous persons,
They can even reset ur password(which is usually not allowed ,as it asks for current password), but it is possible by using command prompt as follows:
Run as administrator
type net user username *
now anonymous person can set his own password
Now u will have no access to ur own system
so, i suggest that you to create a password reset disk of ur system(It can help u to reset the changed password,nodoubt when u have created the password reset disk)

other windows attacks include bruteforce attack, dictionary attack, rainbow table attack.To avoid these type of attacks choose strong passwords which contains special characters,numbers,uppercase,lowercase,something that cannot be guessed as these are hard to crack
