The primary purpose of the SAM is to make the system more secure and protect from a data breach in case the system is stolen. What does the Security Accounts Manager do? During a user’s login attempt, the Windows system will ask for a username and password. Once the password is entered, it will be verified against the password in the SAM. If the username and associated passwords match an entry in the SAM, a sequence of events will take place. This will ultimately result in granting the user access to the system.

The user will be requested to enter the information again. PC is not connected to LAN, the SAM will only store and ask for one user’s password. Once the system is accessed, the SAM file continues to run in the background. What is the purpose of the Security Accounts Manager? The primary purpose of the SAM in a PC environment is to make it difficult for a thief to access the data on a stolen machine. If the user does not care for such security, they can disable this function to access the system without inputting the password.
