If you are one of those guys who are very inattentive like me, then this article is for you. In fact, If you had the bad idea to set a password in your Windows Vista in order to keep nosy people away from your computer, sooner or later you could be in deep mud. Why? Because you could forget it. It is just a matter of time, but it will happen. So, what solution do you have in order to get all of your files back? Here is a little trick which could save your life and prevent you from going nuts!
- Click Start.
- On the search bar type this command: control.exe /name Microsoft.UserAccounts
- Click on Password Reset Disk on the right pane of the window.
- In order to perform the password reset disk you need a USB dongle, by the way.
- Click next and choose the USB dongle as the place where you want to save the password key disk.
- Enter your current user account password.
- Click Next.
- Once the password has been created all previous passwords will be deleted becuase you are supposed to use the one you just created.
So, when next time you log in and type a wrong password, you will be prompted for a new passoword. At this point you will see a link saying “Reset Password”. Click on it and follow the whole procedure.
