Let us see how to make ourselves one password reset disk.
Follow the steps below :
2. Insert your USB drive and wait until it is listed under
My Computer (Windows Explorer) with a proper drive letter.
3. Go to the User Accounts window and then click on the
“Create a password reset disk”. (Refer Screenshot)
4. When you see the Forgotten Password Wizard window take a
look at the information and proceed pressing Next.
5. In the next step, select the drive on which
you are willing to create the password reset disk. In my case, I will be
selecting the USB drive “O: HSoumen“. Once you have selected it properly press
Next to go to the next step
6. On this step you will need to enter your current
password. Provide the correct password and press Next.
7. You will notice a progress bar rapidly moving to 100%.
Once it reaches the end (100%) press Next to proceed to the final step.
8. Here you will be asked to label the disk as “Password
Reset”. You can ignore doing that but it is recommended to do this to make this
change so that you can identify the proper reset disk. To rename the USB drive
open My Computer, right click on the drive and then rename the label to
“Password Reset” (without quotes). You can also rename it into something that
may help you recognize it in future.
Now
that you have successfully created the Password Reset Disk, remove the drive
properly and keep it in a protected place because anyone who gets to this drive
can break into your computer easily.
