| Geek Tip |
The security in Windows is pretty decent. If you forget your logon password, for example, you will be shown a password hint that you (hopefully) set up when you created the password. And hopefully, the hint will make sense for you. You may want to change your password now and come up with a more useful hint. Here's a good way to re-set your password and keep it stored. Click the Start Button and you will see your logon image and images of anyone else set up for that PC. Click on your image and you will be taken to a "make changes to your account" page. You can also get there via Control panel and User Accounts.
On the left-hand side you will see Create a Password Reset Disk. Click it and you will be prompted to insert a floppy disk (remember those?) or a USB drive. Go through the wizard and the information will be securely stored on your removable media.
If you then forget your password, insert the disk or thumb drive and click Reset Password to start the wizard to let you choose a new password and new password hint. Warning - anyone who has access to that floppy or USB drive can log on to your system and reset your password and access your account so be careful.
