Why and how to change the password of a computer?

As we all know that password is a part of security. We must change our password to ensure the security of the computer account. If we do not change the password on a regular basis, your familiarity with your password would eventually lead to its compromise. Hackers use automated tools to guess password.

In this modern era, we use computer, and server to carry a lot of our sensitive data, so keeping work data safe is major priority. Changing the password avoids a number of dangers – including some that are less obvious, such as what happens to the password you have saved on computer you no longer own.

Giving someone a computer with saved passwords is like giving them access to your accounts. Consistently changing your passwords will mean that even if someone has found an old password of yours, it will no longer be relevant or useful.
