In general, Windows users will set a login password for their system to secure the system and files. Vista is no exception. However, in the case of forgetting the password, the door of the Vista system will say "no" to the registrant, making them inaccessible. Previously, Vista Home has provided a way to crack Vista passwords. But as the saying goes, it is necessary to "prevent problems before they happen". Then, how do we prevent problems before landing passwords? Given the high security performance of the Vista operating system, the use of cracked moves is undoubtedly too complicated for ordinary users. However, as long as you are prepared in advance, use Vista's own features to create a password reset disk. When you encounter the embarrassing incident caused by forgetting the password again, you can use it to exercise the function of “opening the door of sesame” and smoothly enter the operating system. Quickly create a password reset disk Normally enter the Control Panel window and select the User Account component. In the window that appears, first insert the flash memory, then select the "Create password reset disk" option in the left task window.
In the "Forgot Password Wizard" dialog box that appears, click the "Next" button. Expand the "I want to create a password key disk in the drive below" list, select the flash drive letter you just inserted, and click the "Next" button. On the next open page, type the password for the current user account. Of course, if the account does not have a password, just leave the text box blank. When you press the "Next" button, a progress bar for creating a password appears. Finally, click the "Finish" button and a password reset disk will be born.
Easy to reset the login password When you are unable to log in properly due to the forgotten password, you can enable this pre-prepared "baby". After entering the wrong password, a prompt "User name or password error" will appear. At this point, return to the login screen, and there will be an additional option to reset the password under the password input box.
Insert the password you just created to reset the flash memory, and then select the "Reset password" option. In the "Reset Password Wizard" dialog box that opens, type the new password and confirm the new password, and click the "OK" button, you can easily change the original password. In this way, even if a password error occurs, it is convenient and quick to log in to the original account environment with a new password. Exploring the secret code reset disk What kind of file makes it so easy to change the password? To find out, we entered the password reset disk and found that a new file named userkey.psw was newly generated. It turns out that this file has the magic to reset the password. Copy this file to another flash memory or a removable storage device that Vista can recognize. Can this magic continue to work? It has been tested that as long as these removable storage devices hold the file, it can also become the password reset disk for the login account. Therefore, it is a good idea to back up this file properly so that you cannot log in because you forgot your password.
