I tried to set up a network for my home system by making
sure everyone logged in to the same workgroup. When i
reboot it is saying that the password or login is
incorrect..but i am typing exactly what i set it as... Now
i am locked out of my machine and have no way to reset the
main password. I dont even care if i am networked anymore,
i just need to get back onto it..HELP! I noticed that in
windows XP there is a password reset disk, is there any
way to reset or get past this password lockout?
 
Hello,

In order to use the Password Reset Disk, you must run the Forgotten Password
Wizard in Microsoft Windows XP to create a password reset disk on a computer
that does not have a floppy disk drive, you are prompted to insert a blank,
formatted disk into drive C.

If a user password is lost, forgotten, or unknown, the only method to reset
the password is for the administrator (or a user with administrative access)
to log on and reset the password in Computer Management. There is no method
in the Windows 2000/XP security model to bypass, disable, or reset the
password.

If the administrator password is lost, forgotten, or unknown, access to the
computer may not be obtainable and the operating system may need to be
reinstalled.
