This excellent video shows how hackers can crack your Windows password in couple of minutes. It also offers suggestion on how to create strong passwords that are tough to crack.
They analyzed the passwords that were not successfully cracked – the 14 character passwords were found to be really strong.
If a password takes more than a week for a hacker to crack, he is likely to give up and more to another comptuer that uses weak password. A must watch video.
