On today's "Call for Help" it doesn't matter if you
never again remember a Windows user password. Thanks
to XP's Forgotten Password Wizard, your conscience
will be free and clear should your mind happen to
accidentally misplace your user password. 


Here's how to launch the Forgotten Password Wizard to
create your very own password recovery disk. 



Click Start menu, Control Panel, and User Accounts.
Click your user account name.
Under Related Tasks on the left, click "Prevent
forgotten password" to launch the wizard.

Now that you've launched the wizard, let it walk you
through creating the recovery disk. Make sure the disk
you use is formatted and in the drive. After it's
finished creating the disk, label it and stash it away
for an emergency. 


If you happen to forget your password, all you need to
do is click your user icon at the logon screen. Even
though you don't have your password, go ahead and
click the green arrow just like you would to finish
logging on to your computer. This will launch a little
yellow dialog box directing you to use your password
recovery disk.
