Add a solid security lock for Windows XP

  
        Windows XP is the most secure operating system in the Windows family, and it provides us with a good password protection mechanism. Although there are many newspapers and magazines that describe how to lose access to Windows XP and how to enter Windows XP, this does not mean that Windows XP is very vulnerable, because Microsoft has provided us with strong security measures in Windows XP: With the Syskey command, we can set the boot password for Windows XP. This password is higher than the user password, and can also generate a key disk, which is equivalent to adding a strong lock to Windows XP. System startup password setting In Windows XP, click "Start → Run", enter "Syskey" in the input box, run the system password setting program, and enter the dialog box shown in Figure 1. Click the "Update" button in the dialog box to enter the password setting dialog box as shown in Figure 2. Select the "Password Startup" radio button, then enter the same password in the following window, and save the settings to complete the system startup password settings. If you want to cancel the system startup password, just select "Save startup password on this machine" in the "Startup Password" window. After "OK", the system will let you enter the set system startup password. After the system password is saved, the system password will be saved. Your hard disk is up, and the system startup password window no longer appears the next time you start it. Application of system startup password
After restarting the system, you will be prompted to enter the system startup password. The user name and password input interface of Windows system will appear only after the correct input, just like setting the system password in BiOS. There is another level before entering Windows. Creating a key disk The "Syskey" system password setting program also has the function of generating a key disk. Only users with a key disk can enter Windows XP, just like some anti-virus software requires a key disk for anti-virus, and a self-protection function. In the "Startup Password" window shown in Figure 2, select "System Generated Password", and then select "Save Startup Password on Floppy Disk", the program will prompt you to insert a floppy disk, and the password file will be automatically saved to the floppy disk after "OK". On, completed the work of making the key disk. The next time you start your computer, you will be prompted to insert a key disk for password verification. How about, with this lock added, is your Windows XP more secure?
