Data will be Lost When Resetting Password

For security reasons, Windows XP ties certain user information directly to the account and password. If a user forgets his or her password, you can choose to reset the password. However, data will be lost if you do so. Specifically, user certificates and Web-related passwords, along with basic computer settings, will be lost once the password is reset. There is no workaround for this problem once the password has been forgotten, but you can prevent the loss of data and the reset problems by creating a password reset disk.
