About reseting user password and EFS, Credentials, and Private Keys from Certificates Are Unavailable After a Password Is Reset

Body:

After you reset the password of an account on a Windows XP-based computer that is joined to a workgroup, you may lose access to the user's:

• Web page credentials.
• File share credentials.
• EFS-encrypted files.
• Certificates with private keys (SIGNED/ENCRYPTed e-mail).

CAUSE
This issue can occur if the password was forcefully reset by an administrator or owner, instead of being changed by the user.
