 Windows
XP/2000/NT ensures the security of your system in
various ways; for example, a user has to log in before
accessing system and user data. To guarantee system
security, O&O BlueCon XXL demands the administrator user
account and password at the startup of the local hard
disk. A further security feature is offered by the NTFS
file system. For example, system-critical files cannot
be changed or deleted when the system is up and running
(e.g. the registry and pagefile). |
| O&O BlueCon XXL and system
security - what you should know! |
If you start O&O BlueCon XXL from a
floppy or CD-Rom, you are not required to log in to the
system. For this reason, you should specify a password
when you create the O&O BlueCon Boot-CD which will be
demanded when the O&O BlueCon Boot-CD is used. In this
way you can reset or change lost or forgotten passwords,
you regain access to your system and at the same time
restrict access by means of the Boot CD's external
password. Logging on to a local installation of O&O
BlueCon XXL has consequences for system security. Since
the program runs in the blue screen of Windows
XP/2000/NT, users do not usually have to log in before
gaining access to data. To guarantee system security,
O&O BlueCon uses the built-in administrator user
account.

| Important Note |
Please always keep in mind that a
physically bootable system can be started from a floppy
or CD-rom and that unauthorized persons can gain access
to your system in this way. Even with the normal Windows
XP/2000/NT setup, it is possible to carry out a parallel
installation and thereby access all of the files on the
local hard disk. If you have sensitive information on
your system, we recommend you use encoding software or
hardware in order to prevent unauthorized access.
|
| Change or reset passwords |
| O&O BlueCon XXL offers you the 'PASSWD'-command
to change or reset user passwords. In this case, the
same restriction as in the last paragraph apply - you
have to access the system from a local installation and
need no information about the account if you boot from a
floppy or CD. Changing or resetting the password should
be the last resort when gaining access to a system. O&O
BlueCon XXL can't "crack" an existing password. It can
only change or reset passwords. |
