        <description><![CDATA[Can you the same flash drive for multiple machines? After all, most of us have at least two computers, and, in my case, each has a different log-on password. I bought the smallest-capacity drive I could find, but I'm still using only a little itty bit of it - in fact, it's so small, it didn't even register on the Properties pie chart. I dread all of that space going to waste. @SgtPappy: There's no need to be so smug, Some of us are new to the field (as you were, once; remember?) and others are not blessed with perfect memories. It could also be that the owner of the computer has been away for a while (military, illness) and a password to a computer is easily swept aside for larger things to worry about,]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Gentlemen, You will find the Offline NT Password and Registry Editior in the Ultimate Boot CD (current version 5.0.3) along with a bunch of VERY useful tools.  I have used it on a box that had lost trust with an AD domain and it works very well.  You will find it in the Hard Disk section under Data Recovery.  Don't leave home (or your desk) without UBCD.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[You create a password reset disk because you want to be able to get into your machine incase you forget your password.  Anyone that forgets a password to their computer shouldn't have a computer and probably wouldn't know how to make a reset disk let alone use one.  Then you put the usb flash drive in a secure location (the &quot;secret&quot; storage area on top of the computer).  Why not just right it down on a piece of paper and store that in the secret compartment?]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[When you create a password reset disk, you're actually creating a very small file named userkey.psw and storing it on the USB drive. This file will only let you reset the password of the account for which it was created. It won't work on another machine with another account.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Bill, There's one thing you didn't tell us.  Of course, advanced users will know this; but I'm not that advanced.  If you create a Windows forgotten password disk, will it work for any Windows 7 computer, or just the one you created it with?Thank you!]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[In this week's TR Dojo episode, I show you how to create a Windows password reset disk using a USB flash drive instead of an optical disc or floppy.And while making a password reset is usually a good idea on stand-alone Windows machines, a lot of end users and even IT pros don't do it. What about you?Do you always make a Windows password reset disk for accounts on the stand-alone (non-domain) computers that you support?Watch the video and take the poll:http://www.techrepublic.com/blog/itdojo/video-create-a-windows-password-reset-disk-on-a-usb-flash-drive/2605]]></description>
