I was thinking about this just the other day -- how many services I use and thus all the passwords I've generated. With most stuff, you can just request an email and (if you're still using the address you signed up with!) they'll email you your password or a new one.
Easy enough. But what if you lost a system password, like the ones you use for documents or -- gasp -- Windows? Off the top of my head, I don't think I can recall my OS password. There are some possibilities, and if worse came to worst, I know I'd be frantically jabbing in all of them. I shudder to think that the only way to recover would be a reinstall. My files! My settings! Eek!
Passware has software for this - Windows Key. It'll create a "reset password" CD, USB Flash Drive or a floppy disk. If you forget your Windows Password, all you have to do is use it during the boot process, and you can reset your Administrator or other account passwords and Windows security settings. No reinstall necessary! Whew!
