If you're running Windows XP Professional as a local user in a workgroup environment, you can create a password reset disk to log on to your computer when you forget your password.
To create the disk
1. | Click Start, click Control Panel, and then click User Accounts. |
2. | Click your account name. |
3. | Under Related Tasks, click Prevent a forgotten password. |
4. | Follow the directions in the Forgotten Password Wizard to create a password reset disk. |
Important Store the disk in a secure location, because anyone using it can access your local user account.
