I think everybody should know this, as it is a very big security problem. Anybody can get into your PC physically without your password or the Guest account activated. Its very easy. Boot your PC and hold down F8. Select safe made and at the login screen Administrator should should show up. There isnt a default password, there is no password. If everybody knew this or it was already posted, im sorry. I just tought this might be very interesting. Its not really a glitch or anything just a big oops on behalf of:

1. Us

2. Microsoft, since I never saw a warning about this when I installed/run windows.

It is a very easy way to get in. If I have any mistakes here in please let me know, but thats the way it is on my Windows XP, even after SP2.
