Thanks to everyone for their help. I created a Password Reset Disk and
tested it and now I'm set. This is something everyone who has a user
account with a password should do.
It's under Control Panel, User Accounts, click on your account, on the
left side under Related Tasks, choose Prevent a Forgotten Password. Then
it will Wizard you through creating the disk.
