PSW File

Help!
I created a "password reset disk" and now can't open. Why would MS give you
an option to create such disk and not show how to open it?
Thanks,

RE: PSW File

Hello,
This disk is used when you need to reset your password and don't remember
what it is.
You insert it when prompted on the logon screen if you type in your
password incorrectly.
This isn't intended to be a file for anyone to open to read a password.
Thanks,
Darrell Gorter[MSFT]
