Reset Password II

I've found another way of resetting the password for your user account. However, you still need to be able to login to an administrator account.

If you can login to an administrator account, you can reset another user's account by doing the following:

1. Goto Start > Run
2. Type control userpasswords2 and click OK
   
3. Choose the user account which you've forgotten the password and click Reset Password
4. Enter your new password, and confirm it.

It has been noted that if you have encrypted anything with EFS with that user account using a public key, you will not be able to access them after you have reseted the password. This is possible however, if you've created the password reset disk, which I have written earlier.

Hope this helps...
