break for administrator password

If you are using windows XP home then you can log in to the system using a blank password for administrator, unless it was changed.

If you can get into any of the accounts on the computers as an administrator, you can edit the user accounts and delete the password.

'break' for a password is not very secure. It is common to normally have a longer password that includes some special characters.

To sum up 'break' is not a good administrator password.

Chow.
