Tip of the Day Forgotten Password Wizzard

Well I made the floppy suggested in the tip of the day but I realized I had no instructions on how to actually use the floppy. Later I found these instructions and decided to share them in case someone else was wondering.

To use the recovery disk, at the Welcome screen:

Click the user name whose password is on the recovery disk.
Click the question mark button, this causes the "Did you forget your password message" to appear.
Click use your password reset disk. This will start the Password Reset Wizard.
From this point, just follow the wizard's instructions and you will be able to set a new password.
