How to use the password reset disk ?

If you made a password reset disk for your local user account through the Forgotten Password Wizard, you can use it to access the computer, even if you have forgotten your password. The following steps will only work if you are in a workgroup environment, using the Welcome screen.

1. At the Welcome screen, click your user name, and then type your password. If you have forgotten your password, the Did you forget your password message is displayed.
2. Click use your password reset disk to start the Password Reset Wizard.
3. Follow the instructions in the Password Reset Wizard to create a new password.
4. Log on with the new password, and then store your password reset disk in a safe place in case you need it to reset your password in the future. You do not need to make a new password reset disk.
