Knowledgeable users will know this actually isn’t as big a problem as it seems and there are various ways to get around a Windows logon password without knowing what it is.įor example, if no-one knows or remembers it, the password can be removed from the user account and reset by using a utility from a boot CD. One of the most common and also frustrating problems you’ll encounter when attempting to troubleshoot or repair a computer, is either the user has forgotten or doesn’t know the logon password or they’re not available to give you that important piece of information. Although not quite as important on a single user machine, passwords are essential when multiple users have access to the same computer or when trying to lock down your child’s user account with parental controls etc. It’s easy enough to do and you can either supply a new password during install, on first run of your new computer or later on through User Accounts in Control Panel. One of the most obvious and easiest ways to add another layer of protection to your computer is protecting your account with a password.
