I used "net user username /random" at the command prompt
to generate a complex password thinking I would be given
the chance to write down the new password.
Big mistake as I now have a new UNKNOWN password. I have
admin rights on this account/computer which is a stand-
alone computer i.e. no network.
Does anyone know how to revert back to my previous known
password?
Barring that, I'm fortunate in that I haven't encrypted
anything yet! So could just delete my user account and
start over.
Thanks,
Greg
