Hi Bob;

Login password.

If you forget the password, you have to
give your machine to me and buy a new one. ;o)
Just kidding. You don't *HAVE* to buy a new machine.

[[If you created a password reset disk for Windows XP, reset your password
by using the password reset disk.]]

Horse and barn door here. You might want to copy and paste this article
and/or print it out for reference. Or stick your password on a Post-it Note
on your monitor like 50% of corporate users do. ;o) Kidding again.

Start | Help and Support | Type:
Windows key + L | Click the green arrow.

Or type: lock
Or type: password
Or: forgot password

Keep having fun, I am. :o)
