Windows XP Hidden Password Generator

In my post entitled How Secure Is Your Password, I promised you guys that I would show you how to make use of the hidden password generator in Windows XP. 

This is a built-in feature of Windows XP that only a few people are aware of. With this tool, you won’t have to download a separate password generating program or go online to visit a password generating website. It only takes a few minutes and it’s very easy to do.

Steps on how to use the Windows XP hidden password generator after the jump.
Here’s what you need to do:

• Click on Start
• Then go to Run

• Type cmd
• In the command prompt, type net user administrator /random and hit Enter

 

  Viola! You now have a secure 8-character password.

 

If you don’t like the created password and would like to create a new one, just hit F3 (assuming that you didn’t close the window) to bring back the ‘net user administrator /random‘ line so you won’t have to type it again, then hit Enter. Repeat steps until you get desired password.

I hope you liked this simple tip on how to use the Windows XP Password Generator and find it useful. Who knows, it might come in handy in the near future.
