The area of computer security is
vast, and no one person can ever learn everything there is to know about the
subject. There are thousands of tools out there aimed at various aspects of
information security. Think of security as layers of an onion. Each layer has a
specific job in protecting your system. Each layer is important, and your
system will not be secure without multiple layers.
One of the most basic layers, and
the first line of defense, is setting an administrative password. Setting a
password is one of the most important lines of defense you can deploy.
Now, you're probably thinking
there's no way you will ever be able to remember something like that! You would
probably have to write your password down somewhere, which is a very bad thing
to do as someone could find it and wreak havoc on your system. An alternative
to this would be to come up with a passphrase, something that is made up of all
the components of a strong password, but also sounds like a real phrase.
"I love baseball" is an
easy phrase to remember right? Now you have a strong password that is not
easily forgettable.
Another thing to remember about
passwords is to not use the same one over and over again on different accounts.
If you have several email accounts, online banking, or any other type of
account that you need to log in to, it's easier for most people to just use the
same log in information for each site. Don't do this! If a hacker is able to
steal this information from one site, say for example Yahoo mail gets hacked,
and you have a Yahoo account, then all they have to do is take that information
and run it against several different sites. They might get lucky and presto!
They have your log in information to your bank account!
Remember, you have nothing to lose
by using as many security layers as possible... except your whole life! Take
the first step and set those passwords, and make them strong!
Password Recovery and Management
Now, let's say you set your strong
password on your computer, and cannot, for the life of you, remember what it
is. A Yahoo Password Recovery
Tool can help you get back in. There are many on the market, just find one that
matches your operating system and look into it. It will be a lot cheaper than
taking your computer in to a repair shop.
Microsoft Windows has a feature
built in to their operating systems which allows you to create a password reset
disk. Create this disk, and if you forget your password you can use the disk to
recover. This is a very handy tool because if you reset your password by some
other method, you might lose access to any encrypted files you may have. The
password rest disk will still allow access to your encrypted files.
Of course the best thing to do is to
not lose your password in the first place. Password management tool or password
management software can be extremely beneficial to you if you have several
accounts with different passwords. Do some research, find the best one for you,
and use it! If you manage your passwords effectively, you will never have to go
through the anguish many people do, due to lost passwords.
Good luck in your endeavors, and
stay protected!
