I HAVE WINDOWS XP PROFESSIONAL INSTALLED ON MY COMPUTER.
WHEN I PUT IT ON MY COMPUTER AND CREATED MY PASSWORD I
CLICKED THE BOX TO HAVE MY COMPUTER REMEMBER MY PASSWORD.
WELL A FEW WEEKS AGO A MESSAGE CAME UP ON TELLING ME MY
COMPUTER SAYING MY PASSWORD HAS EXPIRED AND I HAD TO
CREATE ANOTHER ONE.WINDOWS WON'T LET ME CREATE A NEW
PASSWORD UNTIL I TYPE IN THE OLD PASSWORD. I CAN'T
REMEMBER THE OLD PASSWORD FOR THE LIFE OF ME. SO NOW
ANYTIME I LONG ON TO MY COMPUTER I HAVE TO USE THE GUEST
CATEGORY. USING THIS CATEGORY WON'T LET YOU PUT ANYTHING
ON THE COMPUTER BECAUSE YOU'RE NOT THE ADMINISTRATOR. CAN
ANYBODY TELL ME A WAY TO GET WINDOWS TO REMEMBER MY
PASSWORD OR SOMETHING.ALL SUGGESTIONS IS GREATLY
APPRECIATED.
