I have it on my automation PC's so that if they ever crash they restart themselves completely, and I still have my remote access.

You don't need a utility:

In Windows XP, click start | run | then type control userpasswords2.

In Windows 2000, click start | run | then type control userpasswords.

I'm on 2000, and i get nothing when I run that. I should have mentioned that it's a network login, so even if i got on this pc without logging in, I wouldn't be able to do anything else on the network. That utility stores my username & current passwd in the registry. Not the most secure, but a necessary evil for what I'm doing.
