All ways to change the passwords in Windows.

1. The normal way
2. CONTROL USERPASSWORDS2
3. LUSRMGR.MSC
4. NET USER
5. AT (Advanced)

The Normal Way
The first way, What i mean with the normal way? Just like is said it. Its just the way how Microsoft would like you to do it to come here goto: Start > Control Panel > User Acccounts, this is actually the same as, the command "control userpasswords" that can be put in the "Run" dialog (Start > Run)

Control Userpasswords2
Welcome to second alternative, the little brother of "the normal way", this way is meant for administrators, when entering the command "control userpasswords2" in the run box (Start > Run) a little app will appear that looks like this:

now Click on the administrator account > Reset Password and this will appear:

(no further info needed I guess xD)

Lusrmgr.msc
This third alternative is not the best one. its a bit complicated but not very handy, actually that pass can't be changed here.
goto Start > Run and enter the command "Lusrmgr.msc" now this shows up:

now browse to "Users", and click the "Administrator" account, now you can change some things, like disabling it. not very handy imo

Net user
This fourth alternative is the most stable and handy one imo.

go to Start > Run and enter "cmd", then when the command prompt opens, enter "net user" and you will get something like this:

now you see a list of the usernames present on the computers, also the hidden are show'n

well, changing a pass is very easy, enter "net user [accountname] [password]", i.e. "net user Administrator roflpwned"

SIMPLE BUT USEFUL!!

What is a denial-of-service (DoS) attack?

The most common and obvious type of DoS attack occurs when an attacker "floods" a network with information. When you type a URL for a particular web site into your browser, you are sending a request to that site's computer server to view the page. The server can only process a certain number of requests at once, so if an attacker overloads the server with requests, it can't process your request. This is a "denial of service" because you can't access that site.

An attacker can use spam email messages to launch a similar attack on your email account. Whether you have an email account supplied by your employer or one available through a free service such as Yahoo! or Hotmail, you are assigned a specific quota, which limits the amount of data you can have in your account at any given time. By sending many, or large, email messages to the account, an attacker can consume your quota, preventing you from receiving legitimate messages.

What is a distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack?

How do you avoid being part of the problem?

• Install and maintain anti-virus software.
• Install a firewall, and configure it to restrict traffic coming into and leaving your computer.
• Follow good security practices for distributing your email address. Applying email filters may help you manage unwanted traffic.

How do you know if an attack is happening?

• unusually slow network performance (opening files or accessing web sites)
• unavailability of a particular web site
• inability to access any web site
• dramatic increase in the amount of spam you receive in your account

What do you do if you think you are experiencing an attack?

• If you notice that you cannot access your own files or reach any external web sites from your work computer, contact your network administrators. This may indicate that your computer or your organization's network is being attacked.
• If you are having a similar experience on your home computer, consider contacting your Internet service provider (ISP). If there is a problem, the ISP might be able to advise you of an appropriate course of action.
