Add content to the Encrypting File System page for the following "Common misunderstandings about EFS":

1. EFS can always be compromised by brute-forcing the LM or NTLM password hash of the user.^{[citation needed]}
2. EFS can always be compromised if you can logon as Administrator.^{[citation needed]}
3. EFS is always susceptible to rainbow table attacks and other vulnerabilities related to the LM hash.^{[citation needed]}
4. EFS encrypted files can be recovered by resetting the user's password.^{[citation needed]}
5. EFS encrypted files can be recovered by simply creating a username and password that match the original user.^{[citation needed]}
6. EFS by default uses DES encryption of its files.^{[citation needed]}
7. EFS greatly decreases performance when large files are decrypted.^{[citation needed]}
