On ME simply press escape at the logon screen. Do a search for *.PWL.
Delete the PWL for the user account whos password you want to change. "Noel Paton" wrote in message ... Passwords to what?

Fine - if it's the logon password.
We haven't yet established that that is what the poster wanted to know. -- Noel Paton (MS-MVP 2002-2004, Win9x) Nil Carborundum Illegitemi http://www.btinternet.com/~winnoel/millsrpch.htm Please read http://dts-l.org/goodpost.htm on how to post messages to NG's or http://www.microsoft.com/presspass/f.../Mar27pmvp.asp "Rob Elder MVP-Networking" wrote in message ...

penned this whopper in microsoft.public.windowsme.networking Fine - if it's the logon password. We haven't yet established that that is what the poster wanted to know. Essentially the same method works for those pesky screen saver and power management passwords, unless there is 3rd party stuff on the box. That I won't go into, neither BIOS passwords, nobody that concerned about security should be forgetting them. It's all been posted before though. sheepish grin -- "Time will bring to light whatever is hidden; it will cover up and conceal what is now shining in splendor." Horace (65 - 8 BC); Roman poet.
