Here's one a lot of people have been looking for. This article explains how to log on to Windows XP if you forget your password, or if your password expires and you are not able to create a new one.
Method 1: Use a Password Reset Disk
If you created a password reset disk on a Microsoft Windows XP Professional-based computer, reset your password by using the password reset disk.
Method 2: Log on as Administrator and Reset the Password

Sombody could take advantage of that. Let's say I have one account on my computer which is an administrator. Anybody could use that disk and log on my computer ?

If that's the case, I'm going to modify some settings in my BIOS.

PS - Why do you think people have been looking for a disk like that ? It's very rare somebody actually forgets their password. They just want to log on any computer they want.

Well, anyone who can sit at your computer, can bypass anything (if they know what there doing)...So I see no harm in this......

If the disk was made with another computer then by my understanding it can not be used onto another.
