I have tried to do this my self, and I can't find anywhere on the left side that says "Prevent a Forgotten Password" on the left side - I switched my menus to Classic View....is this why I can't see it? When I open Users and Accounts, I get a user name list and that's it. Anyone know how to run the Forgotten Password Wizard from a command line?

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.
