Password - educate me, please

[Dave Horne]

I have a Password to get into my user account. What would happen if I
intentionally kept entering in an incorrect password? ... and I do have a
Password reset disk. Just wondering.

Nothing would happen until you type in the "correct" password. Then you
would be granted access.

Good way in for brute forcers?

That is of course unless the Account Lockout Policy has been setup via
group policy. It is disabled by default so nothing to worry about
unless you or someone else has configured the account lockout threshold.
