How to Create a Password Reset Disk
The password reset disk is a floppy disk that contains encrypted password information
and allows users to change their password without knowing the old password. As
standard practice, you should encourage users to create a password reset disk and
keep it in a secure location.

1. Press CTRL+ALT+DEL, and then click Change Password.
2. In the User Name box, type the user name of the account for which you want to
create a password reset disk.
3. In the Log On To box, click ComputerName, where ComputerName is your
assigned computer name, and then click Backup.
4. Follow the steps in the Forgotten Password Wizard until the procedure is complete.
Store the password reset disk in a secure place.
To create a password reset disk for a local user account, follow these steps:
1. From the Start menu, click Control Panel.
2. In Control Panel, click User Accounts.
