WIN ME Password reset
I have a user who has forgotten his password to his
windows desk top. The same user name is used to attach to our network without a problem but he can't change his windows pass word to the same as his network password without the forgotten password. Is there any way to reset his windows password without knowing the original password he used. |

-----Original Message----- I have a user who has forgotten his password to his windows desk top. The same user name is used to attach to our network without a problem but he can't change his windows pass word to the same as his network password without the forgotten password. Is there any way to reset his windows password without knowing the original password he used. . http://www.petri.co.il/forgot_admini...r_password.htm it might be as easy as deleting the password file which i think is a pwl file. at least, that's what we would do in 98/95. maybe different in me. here's a link that might be helpful. http://www.petri.co.il/forgot_admini...r_password.htm |

Rename the *.pwl to *.pw0 and then he will be prompted for a new password when logging in and a new *.pwl file will be created. Regards Mike. --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
