Getting Started
Depending on the Windows settings, installed applications, and drivers, menus and
other displays may differ, or some functions (such as use of the password reset disk)
may be inoperable. Check with your system administrator for details.
You can select Classic view for the Control Panel or select the Classic Start menu.
You can also change the way a user logs on or off.
The procedure in this manual uses the method or view of the Windows XP default
setting (not Classic view or Classic Start menu etc.).

Windows XP has a function to reset a forgotten password.
To use this function, you need to create a password reset disk beforehand following
the steps below.

Select [Prevent a forgotten password] from the [Related Tasks] menu of the ac-
count you have logged on to and create a password reset disk following the on-
screen instructions.
Store the password reset disk in a safe place.

The password set in the Setup Utility cannot be reset.
