4. Follow the steps in the Forgotten Password Wizard until the procedure is complete.
Store the password reset disk in a secure place.
Users cannot change their password and create a password reset disk at the same time.
If a user types a new password in the New Password and Confirm New Password
boxes before the user clicks Backup, the new password information is not saved.
When the wizard prompts a user for his current user account password, the user must
type the old password.
A user can change a password anytime after creating a password reset disk. The user
does not have to create a new password disk after changing a password or resetting a
password manually.
When logging on, if a user forgets the password and has previously created a password
reset disk, the user is presented with an option to reset his password by using the password
reset disk. Select the option on the logon screen to launch the Password Reset
Wizard. The Password Reset Wizard asks user to create a new password and hint. Log
on with the new password and then return the password reset disk to its safe storage
place. The user does not need to make a new password reset disk.
Practice: Modifying, Creating, and Deleting Local User Accounts
In this practice, you create a new local user account and assign it a password using the
User Accounts tool. You then create a custom Microsoft Management Console (MMC)
that contains the Computer Management snap-in and use the snap-in to create two
more new user accounts. Then you test one of the newly created local user accounts.
You complete the practice by using the User Accounts tool to delete a local user
account.
After completing this practice, you will be able to accomplish the following tasks:
■ Use the User Accounts tool to create a new local user account
■ Create a customized MMC containing the Computer Management snap-in
■ Use the Computer Management snap-in to create a new local user account
