Windows XP password hoax
Another incredibly stupid "Windows XP security bug" hoax has emerged, this time on YouTube. Can you believe it? If you have local administrator access, you can change a local users password! Truly incredible news! This is another example of a "security issue" that isn't even close to being one. The other one is a bit more clever though, this one is just plain stupid.Post metadata

Yeah, it’s impressive that someone would make a video of basic administration features.

Of course it works, it’s intended to work. If you have administrator access to the computer, you can change any users password. No security threat in that whatsoever.
