Re: Locked myself out

Please see my second response that was transmitted 6 minutes after the first
one. Being a typical man, I got lost and refused to ask for directions :-)

Yes..I did mean windows..Thank you for the prompt response. This is the
first time I have used this site and I have found it quite useful so far.

I am going to assume that you mean the Windows password. If so, when the
screen appears, click cancel to continue booting. Once the PC is booted,
do
a find on: *.pwl (you may find one with your name--for example, mine is
ron.pwl). Delete the .pwl file and reboot. The logon screen will appear
and you can set a new password.

When I first purchased my computer and set it up, I set up a password.
Well
I haven't turned it off since that time until a couple of days ago.
Now I
have locked myself out and I don't know the password I created. Is
there
someway to reset back to the original settings to log into the
computer?
