Setting Windows XP User Account with Random Password

There are many freewares thats capable of generating random passwords for you if you couldn’t think and decide what password to use for your internet banking, emails, user account and etc… It’s not that hard to program something like that, that’s why most of random password generators are offered free. A good password will have numbers, letters, and special characters with at least 8 characters. Now you don’t have to download and install any random password generators even though it’s free because Windows already has one built-in! And it’s capable of setting the random generated password as your Windows user account’s password.

Run command prompt

by clicking on Start, then run..
Windows Start Run
and type the word ‘CMD‘. Click OK
Windows Command Prompt

On the command line you can type:
net user [username] /random (an example below)
Generate Random Password from Windows

Now the password for the user “administrator” is “NP3pnbZ8“. This method only works for LOCAL account. One important note, be very careful with random password because you won’t remember it unless you memorize it or write it somewhere otherwise you won’t be able to login to Windows. If you’ve forgotten the random password, read this article on how to hack into Windows without knowing the password.
