Do you need to enter a password when booting into Windows XP Pro? Afraid you might forget this password down the road and not be able to run your PC? Make a password reset disk to protect against a lost password.

1. Click Start > Control Panel > User Accounts.
2. Left-click your account name.
3. Under the Related Tasks left side options, click Prevent a forgotten password.
4. Follow the directions in the Forgotten Password Wizard to create a password reset disk.
5. Store the disk in a secret location, because anyone can use it to access your local user account.
