Make a Password Reset Disk in XP
Do you need to enter a password when booting into Windows XP Pro? Afraid you might forget this password down the road and not be able to run your PC? Make a password reset disk to protect against a lost password.
- Click Start > Control Panel > User Accounts.
- Left-click your account name.
- Under the Related Tasks left side options, click Prevent a forgotten password.
- Follow the directions in the Forgotten Password Wizard to create a password reset disk.
- Store the disk in a secret location, because anyone can use it to access your local user account.
