WT - Win98 - Hacking the forgotten password

If you forget your Windows Logon password, all you have to do is press the Esc key when the Password dialog box appear on the screen. Windows 98 will open it on a default screen (without Desktop Wallpaper, Screen Saver...). Go to C:\Windows folder, then delete the .PWL file that is named as your Windows logon. For example, if your logon is Tyrone, then delete the tyrone.pwl file. Click Start-Shut Down menu and then click Close all programs and logon as another user option. When the Password dialog box appear on the screen, type the same logon but with a new password to logon. This method is useful if you wanna break up another user logon.
