    Without admin password set does mallware have free access?

    What is that admin password? Is it my user's password too?(my user is admin type.)

    If tere is a user with no password can mallware infiltrate through it?

    OK so if it is shared.
    Windows:
    LAN shared? Like through File and Printer Sharing for Microsoft Networks?

    On linux I saw a guy entering random IPs and he logged on into a system being able to do whatever. Can the ww net be used to logon to windows? I disabled the checkboxes and services, is there something else on my winxp?

    There is talk about the administrator account.
    Is there a main one that's higher than my own only account, which is of administrator type? If so are they merged in any circumstances?

    Please recommend (admin password)security in max 5 words.:confused
