How to Increase Your Password Security in Windows 2000

How to Increase Your Password Security in Windows 2000


This article tells you how to increase Windows 2000 password security by having your computer create a new hash value for your password.


Go to your "start" button
Go to "Run"
Type in "regedit" and press OK
Go to "edit" at the top
Select "Find"
Type "NTLM"
Double-click on the top icon on the right side of the screen.
Change the value from 0 to 1.
This changes your NTLM hash value to one, so it creates a random hash value everytime you type your password.
