I have regular windows 95 on my other computer and I
forgot the screensaver password and I want to change it
but I can't because I forgot it...
My question is.....
Is there a way to either find out what the old
password was ... or is there a way to bypass the whole
thing and put in a new password somehow!!
PLEASE HELP!!!

Open Window Explorer and open the Windows folder. Locate and delete any
files with the extension .pwl. If you cannot see those files, then go to
folder options/view and make sure that the options for seeing all files is
checked and any options for hiding files are unchecked.

Not sure if the response will work. The pwl files are the
password files for user logon, not the screensaver. If
you delete all the pwl files each user will need to
select a new one next time they try and log on.
