Hide? :-)
I've seen 'em stuck on monitor all the way around. The stupid thing looked
like a giant Sun Flower! :-)
I didn't know if I should Click-it, sniff it, or each the seeds.

We're talking about logon passwords here Dan. Should be obvious.

Long computations that yield zero are probably all for naught.

Well, I am expanding the topic to include a multi-level security approach
with using not only login passwords which of course is better on Windows XP
but also BIOS passwords, passwords used in 3rd party programs, biometrics,
and how to fully safeguard and secure your machine from hackers whether
internal or most importantly imo, remote external hackers with such skills
that we could be talking about employees from the federal governments of say
China or Russia now that is the true big time.

Set random password and throw it away. Do not try managing passwords for
disk encryption either.
Users should not have expectation that the data located on the local
disks can be recovered in case of the system failure. Store data on servers.
Stateless systems that actually reset to original state when user logs
off will proliferate, thanks to advances of virtual desktop
technologies. There is no point in managing local admin password on such
systems.
