Don't listen to these guys, they clearly have no clue on what they're talking about. I am a developer at Microsoft so I know a thing or two about computers. The only way to reset your windows password 100% safe is to use a software called Reset Password Pro.
The software allows you to create a boot-disk, that can be made on a CD/DVD or USB stick. The boot-disk can then be inserted into any locked machine, and it's a simple case of pressing reset. Here is their official site: http://www.resetwindowspass.com

Your passwords and account settings are stored in c:\windows\system32\configure\sam.
This file contains hashed codes that do noy have a decryption algrithm.
While the OS is running you can not change or move the file; you can still view the hash codes in notepad out of curiosity.

It's in a hidden file. You can't see it or change it.
For password when you're loggin on to internet sites, go to Tools, options, content, auto complete. Only option here is to disable and clear passwords etc.

Aight this is the easiest question on this site: Turn on your computer and some how get to start up options - u do this by like clicking F12 or F10 depends on what it tells you when the manufacturer logo appears. Select start up in "Safe Mode" When the computer loads up in safe mode, you will see that there is a new user account called "Administrator". This will have no password but has limited features designed to fix problems. Under safe mode administrator, go to Start >>> Control Panel>>> user accounts>>> and go to your account and REMOVE PASSWORD. Then all you do is restart normally, log on to your account w/no password, and make a new one!!! yee yee mad easyy

always-always write them down in a note book for safe keeping.and is best not to let xp save them,it's a convenience for us when we need to enter a password but it is also a convenience for the hackers.
