I am a manager of a small computer shop. Recently I had a user who had forgotten their password for Windows 98 the user name shows up but how do I find out what the password is.

I don't want to recreate the user. And if their is a manual solution rather than a hacking utility that would be great. Thanks.

Oh so close ! It's .pwl, not .pwd. Delete it and at the next logon they can create a new one.

However, this file also contains other passwords like dial-up and network passwords. You may be better off with a hack. They're readily available for free if you do a Google search.

Yes but is there a way to just find out the password without deleting the user.pwl and can it be done without hacking utilities. Thanks.
