Forgotten Password

[holyghost]

I created a password for my profile in Windows ME & now I forgot what's the password. I can't get into my own profile now. Any idea how can I delete & redo the password?

I had to.

I really wish I could help. Alas, I don't have millenium edition.

if you can get your hands on ERD, try it. I'm not sure off-hand with versions of Windows it works with, though. I've only ever used it for 2000.

There is a bootable linux cd that can get you past this, I forgot the name but I will find it out today.The cd works by booting into a linux enviroment then changes the password from there hehe...

not sure about me, wbut with win98 just delete all the .pwl files on the harddrive and everyone's password will be reset to nothing.

btw, win9X's suck for security

Do a search for PWL files on the machine and delete it. It will reset the password blank.
