Strengthen Windows XP password security two strokes

How did you set a password for Windows XP? Create a password just in Control Panel → User Account! Maybe you think that the passwords and digits you set are enough to reject the "novice" outside the system, but you will not refuse to leave it outside the safer password rules? What's more, these rules don't require third-party software, and these rules can be operated with just a few mouse clicks and a few values.

Closer to home, defining a more secure password rule uses the system's "Local Security Settings" tool, which can be activated by typing "secpol.msc" in "Start → Run". In the tree on the left side of the main window, expand Account Policy → Password Policy. The password rule we want to define is the option displayed in the right panel (as shown in Figure 1)!

First, double-click "Password must meet the complexity requirements" and set the security setting to "Enabled". At this time, the password created by the user in "Control Panel→User Account" must contain English. , Arabic numerals and special characters, three types of characters, if one of the characters is not included, a dialog box will pop up.

The minimum password length (as shown in Figure 2): The minimum number of digits the user can create a password, you can enter an Arabic number between 0 and 14, and 0 means that the password length created is not required to be detected. Once the password created by the user does not meet the required number of digits, the system will also pop up a dialog box warning.
