Windows XP Pro Password

[Carl]

I am an employee of National Oilwell currently stationed on
an offshore drilling rig in the Arabian Sea off the coast
of Bombay, India. I recently inadvertently made changes to
my company computer and now it won't accept my logon
password. Is there a fix for this I can do here as I am
kind of stranded without support? My computer is integral
to my job.

Once you're up and running again: create a password reset disk.

The Forgotten Password Wizard lets you create a password reset disk that you
can use to recover your user account and personalized computer settings if
you forget your password.

The steps to perform this task differ depending on whether your computer is
a member of a network domain or is part of a workgroup (or is a stand-alone
computer).

1. Your computer is on a domain

Press CTRL+ALT+DELETE to open the Windows Security dialog box.
Click Change Password.
Click Backup to open the Forgotten Password Wizard.
Click Next and then follow the instructions as they appear on the screen.

2. Your computer is not on a domain

The steps to perform this task differ depending on the type of user account
you have.

If you have a computer administrator account

Open User Accounts in Control Panel.
Click your account name.
Under Related Tasks located on the left side of the window, click Prevent a
forgotten password.
In the Forgotten Password Wizard, follow the instructions as they appear on
the screen.

If you have a limited account

Open User Accounts in Control Panel.
Under Related Tasks located on the left side of the window, click Prevent a
forgotten password.
In the Forgotten Password Wizard, follow the instructions as they appear on
the screen.
