Getting Started
Depending on the Windows settings, installed applications, and drivers, menus and
other displays may differ, or some functions (such as use of the password reset disk)
may be inoperable. Check with your system administrator for details.
You can select Classic view for the Control Panel or select the Classic Start menu.
You can also change the way a user logs on or off.
The procedure in this manual uses the method or view of the Windows XP default
setting (not Classic view or Classic Start menu etc.).
Resetting the password
Windows XP has a function to reset a forgotten password.
To use this function, you need to create a password reset disk beforehand following
the steps below.

Select [start] - [Control Panel] - [User Accounts].

Select the account you used to log on and select [Prevent a forgotten password]
from [Related Tasks] menu.

Store the password reset disk in a safe place.
· Only the logon password for each account can be reset.
The password set in the Setup Utility (
“Setup Utility”) cannot be reset.
Information for Windows XP
When you use MUI OS and localized OS versions together on the same network, use
English computer names on localized versions of Windows.
Some UI (User Interface) strings remain in English even if the user’s UI is set to another
language.
For more information, refer to “c:\windows\mui\relnotes.txt”.
If changing the language in [Languages] - [Language used in menus and dialogs], the
desktop color will be changed when logging on to Windows next time.
The desktop color can be changed by following the procedure below.
Select [start] - [Control Panel] - [Appearance and Themes] - [Display] - [Desktop] and
select a color from [Color], then select [OK].
