Hello,
My girlfriend, to my chagrin, has not turned off her Sony Vaio laptop in
quite a long time since she is unsure as to whether or not she remembers, or
even created, the administrative account that she has in XP Home Edition (I
believe it is XP HE SP2). That being said, here is what I do know (or believe
to know):
1) She is using an administrative account, not the Administator account
2) She may have created a password for her account when she first used her
Vaio
3) I don't believe she ever enabled the file level encryption scheme on her
My Documents folder (or if it would have been availalbe to her in XP HE)
I know there is the tool within the User Accounts control panel applet to
that allows you to prevent a forgotten password. Can this be used after the
fact, as in this situation where she is unsure if she created one and/or did
but forgot it?
Thanks and Happy Holidays!
