For myself, I got hold of a Linux based Password Reset File that works for Vista, XP, and 2000. You can get a CD version or a floppy version. Just go to scroogle.org and search for "XP Password Reset" "Linux". It should come up. I use it all the time to reset passwords that people forgot on Windows. Oh, and it is better to use it and just blank the password to nothing then go in and create a new one for said account. On a non related thing, I took the liberty for myself to mod your Dark Vista Desktop to the programs and such I use myself. I love what you did with it. I have no plans to upload it to wincustomize since it is your work and all I did was change some properties and program targets as well as the wallpaper. If you'd like to see my work I did, it is on my profile as my Desktop screen. Keep up the great work and be well.

I've been using a 15 character password for ages, and I have this thing for non-alphanumeric characters.
I should really set up a 127 character password for XP, though...
