In the User Manager program (usrmgr.exe) under the "Policies" menu, "Account..." dialog box to enforce password policies. Also install PASSFILT.DLL.
  • Enable lockout on all normal accounts.
  • A good number is between 3-5 bad tries.
  • Force long passwords, at least 6 characters.
  • Require unique passwords so that when users change a password, they cannot re-use an old one.

Don't use dictionary passwords.
