Password reset disk

In the MS PRESS book it talks about the password reset disk.
It mentions that in a domain you can access the Forgotten Password Wizard by pressing
CTRL+ALT+DEL and then click Backup.
I tried this procedure and found no Backup option?
Any suggestions for starting the Forgotten Password Wizard in a domain environment?

When not on a domain, it's located in the User Accounts area.
When you're on a domain, you just need to do as you stated above and select "Change Password," then backup will be under the computer you have selected. I think.

Doesn't exist on a domain. If you forget your password you need to contact someone who has permissions to reset passwords in AD.

Per the bottom of that KB doc, you're both right. You CAN use a password reset disk on a domain machine but it can only reset a local user account and NOT a domain account.
