A password thief could enter the command to display, get the password and be gone with the machine in seconds. Your login password is your admin password, most likely. It's not a good practice to bypass the login screen. It takes seconds to enter, reminds you of that critical piece of information every time you boot and is a basic protection for your data and system. Resetting the password does NOT wipe out anything on the hard drive. That's why making it easy to get to the password is not a good idea.</p></blockquote><p></p>
