The KB Article refers to creating the floppy to protect yourself against the
chance that you forget the password in the future. Obviously you must be
logged on in order to create the floppy. If you have forgotten the password
and cannot log on then you could be in serious trouble. There are utilities
that will enable you to change a forgotten admin password but they can be a
challenge to use successfully.

There are NT Password Reset disks running around. They
are very easy and useful, but very dangerous if not used
properly or put in the hand of the wrong person.
 
Get the LILO Linux boot disk which will boot, mount and let you change your
admin password so you can login to XP.
