Do+not+Let+a+Lost+Password+Lock+You+Out+of+Windows

You need to set passwords on all of your user accounts in order to prevent unauthorised users or hackers from getting access to your system. However, this brings the risk that you might forget one of those passwords, and then not be able to log back in. Windows 7 provides a way around this problem, by allowing you to create a password reset disk. With this disk you will be able to boot your PC and reset a lost password.
 * Do not Let a Lost Password Lock You Out of Windows**

To create the disk:
 * 1) Click **Start** > **Control Panel** > **User Accounts**.
 * 2) Click **Create a password reset disk**.
 * 3) Click **Next** and choose the drive you would like to create the reset disk on. This doesn’t have to be a floppy disk drive – you can use a USB memory stick too.
 * 4) Click **Next** and enter your current password.
 * 5) Click **Next** again and once the process is finished click **Next** > **Finish**.

Keep the disk you create in a safe place and use it to reset your system if you forget your password.
