I've been told that WinXP, as well as Win2k and WinNT, has a (fairly) secure
screensaver password scheme.

Could, for example, a curious/malevolent colleague gain access over lunch assuming
no prior knowledge of a reasonable (nonsensical) password (10 alphanumeric figures
plus a special character or two)? I have a vague recollection of some utilities
that can quickly/easily reveal a WinXP screen saver password.

Heck in 5 min I can create a new admin user & gain access to whatever I want but I can't speak for the average bear.
