| I noted you posted this in the Vista discussing groups over on Microsoft. That's the best place to get an answer. ---------------------------------------------- Work is for people who don't know how to surf Gateway Performance 1800 - P4 1.8gz, 1gig RAM, nVidia 5200; SB Live Value; Windows Vista Business, Photoshop CS2, Nikon D200 and D100 |

| I dont know if this will work but in windows XP you can start the up the computer in safe mode and login in as administrator and remove your p@ssword. |

| If u were ever to forget your login p@ssword, Vista offers two tools that help you to deal with it. 1) P@ssword Hint : Your hint appears below the p@ssword entry box, after you make an incorrect entry and then click OK. You can create a hint when you set a p@ssword with User Accounts. 2) P@ssword Reset Disk : A p@ssword reset disk, allows you to change your p@ssword, without needing to know ur old p@ssword. You can make a p@ssword reset disk only for ur local user account. This disk contains a single file named Userkey.psw, which is an encrypted backup version of your p@ssword... I came across this at http://www.winvistaclub.com/tips.html check it out more details there. |
