Martin, I presume you just need Local User details, and not those for a workgroup, so here they are. George. To access the local user account through a password reset disk If you made a password reset disk for your local user account through the Forgotten Password Wizard, you can use it to access the computer, even if you have forgotten your password. The following steps will only work if you are in a workgroup environment, using the Welcome screen. For information about accessing the local user account through a password reset disk in a domain environment, click Related Topics. At the Welcome screen, click your user name, and then type your password. If you have forgotten your password, the Did you forget your password message is displayed. Click use your password reset disk to start the Password Reset Wizard. Follow the instructions in the Password Reset Wizard to create a new password. Log on with the new password, and then store your password reset disk in a safe place in case you need it to reset your password in the future. You do not need to make a new password reset disk. -----Original Message----- From: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of martin wilsher Sent: 07 May 2006 20:29 To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [access-uk] windows log on forgotten password discs?
