Windows Passwords
Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance
I have been on my new computer w/ Vista for about a year. On my old
computer, which crashed, I never set a Windows (98)password since its just my
wife and I.
I was considering setting the password as Administrator but am concerned
about something going wrong w/ logging on even though it looked like the
password was correctly set. I have read selected portions of "Windows Vista
for Dummies", and, from what was said, the best remedy is for me to create a
dual user of myself as a 2nd Administrator. The rationale for this approach
was suggested by the book was
that another administrator can remove the password from the "troubled" user.
I am also familiar with creating the Password Reset Disk, but it seems that
working with this disk may be more cumbersome.
Has anyone experienced any troubles with logging on after creating a password?
Any thoughts?
