For some cases, friends, family members, boss , co-worker may want to logon to your computer system but they don't know your password. If they didn't have any special computing skill, they will type the password by guessing it. Lets say your password to login your windows xp is your birth date (1.1.01) your close friend, bos, family members and co-worker may know your birthday and they enter it can success to logon to your computer system. Now I am going to show you how to prevent this happen.
1 . First click start on the desktop toolbar or simply press windows key on the keyboard.
2. click run and type in secpol.msc
3. A Local Security Settings dialog box appear.
4. Click on the ACCOUNT POLICIES and follow by the ACCOUNT LOCKOUT POLICIES
5. First of all, you must set ACCOUNT LOCKOUT THRESHOLD by double click it and set 3(recommended) for the "invalid logon attempts". This action will lockout the computer system after 3 times of entering invalid password. The default logout duration is 30 minutes. That means in 30 minutes time just after the wrong password input, even the correct password entered the computer system will not logon. Must wait until 30minutes.
6. You may set the ACCOUNT LOCKOUT DURATION by double click it. (i recommand for about 10-15 minutes). Because sometimes we may enter wrong password or wrong type the password on the keyboard. So it can save time time for not waiting so long. If you just want to try it out, you set maybe 3minutes and have a try.
7. Click close at the top corner to exit.
8. You are DONE.
