again. You may need to do METHOD THREE

Thanks for your answer Brink... The warning of that site about this tool is:
"If you reset the password using the tool below, the user account will lose
access to its encrypted files, e‑mail messages that are encrypted, and stored
passwords for websites or network resources."

How could it damage the sistem if I use this tool?

Thanks

If you have a home or office computer network setup, the user accoun
password is used to connect with the other computers connected to you
computer (not internet). Since using the tool will clear the password
you will need to change the password again on your network computer
before you can connect back to them. This can easily be done by givin
your user account the same password you used before on the networ
computers again.

If you encrypted (EFS) any files or folders in your user account, yo
will lose access to them when resetting the password for that use
account unless you backed up the EFS encryption certificate. If you did
then you can simply restore it afterwards to have access to to encrypte
files again.

If you do not have a home or office computer network or encrypted an
files or folder, then you have nothing to worry about with the Warning

Hope this helps
Shaw
