Forgot your LOGON
password
Did
you ever forget your logon password and don't know what
to do. Don't call anyone...
Access windows as you normally do, on the login prompt
press CANCEL
now go to DOS (MS-DOS prompt) or select RUN from Start
menu and type command.
Switch to c:\windows
type the following, and press enter after each command:
cd\
windows then dir *.pwl
delete the file related to your username.
e.g If your login username is "myname" you
should delete
myname.pwl del myname.pwl
After Restart you will be asked for a new username and
password.
What you did is deleted the password (PWL) file, Windows
did no find any passwords so it asked for one (password) to create a
fresh new file.
