If you forget your password you probably won't be able to open that file.
My method is simpler. Write down your password and save it in a safe place.

You can't view it easily.

It is in the SAM registry hive.

There are programs which can be used to change it - so you can log in if you forget it.

Exactly. I really do not understand why people do not write down their passwords somewhere.

Just a suggestion. It's pretty much impossible to lose it that way. Though if anyone else uses your computer, you'd be better off to keep it somewhere else.
