This thought only occured to me after an unrelated fubar that had me using the recovery console:
When you run the recovery console (say to recover from a screwed up Windows boot) it asks you to enter your administrator password. What happens, though, if you have the account disabled in Windows?
Like most people I try to avoid having to resort to the CD recovery console like the plague, but I wouldn't want to find my ability to use that tool was voided by something I'd done (disabling the admin account) to make it more secure.
Thoughts / comments?
XP Pro - btw.
