Recovering a user's password

If you forget your user account password, check your
password hint. (Your password hint is located on the
Welcome screen beside the password prompt.)

If you have a password reset disk, you can use it to
create a new password for your account. Your personalized
computer settings will be retained. For more information
about using the Forgotten Password Wizard to create a
password reset disk, click Related Topics.

If your password hint does not help you remember your
password and you did not create a password reset disk,
you will need to have someone with a computer
administrator account create a new password for you. For
security reasons, a computer administrator cannot recover
your password if you forget it; he or she can only create
a new one for you.
