Create a Password Reset Disk

If youre running Windows XP Professional as a local user in a workgroup environment, you can create a password reset disk to log onto your computer when you forget your password.

  • Click Start, click Control Panel, and then click User Accounts.
  • Click your account name.
  • Under Related Tasks, click Prevent a forgotten password.
  • Follow the directions in the Forgotten Password Wizard to create a password reset disk.
  • Store the disk in a secure location, because anyone using it can access your local user account.
