How ToCreate A Password Reset Disk

Computing : Operating Systems


Microsoft has enhanced security features in XP including the ability to create a floppy diskette to recover your password in case it is forgotten.

* Click Start > Control Panel > User Accounts.
* Click on the account which you want to create a password disk.
* Click Prevent a forgotten password which starts the Forgotten Password Wizard . This is found under Related Tasks.
* Insert a blank, formatted disk into drive A, and click Next.
* Enter the password in the Current user account password box.

To use the recovery disk, at the Welcome screen:

* Click the user name whose password is on the recovery disk.
* Click the question mark button, this causes the "Did you forget your password message" to appear.
* Click use your password reset disk. This will start the Password Reset Wizard.

From this point, just follow the wizard's instructions and you will be able to set a new password.
