With the ever-growing world of new computing devices, laptops and desktops have proven to be so much used in several fields following their efficiency, speed, versatility and capacity of storage. Because these devices store most of our important information, then there is need to secure them. Security comes by use of factors like face recognition, use of bio-metrics like fingerprints, voice recognition factor, use of pin and passwords. Among these factors, use of passwords seems to be the mostly used aspect, but there comes a problem when a person forgets his/her device password and is locked out of the entire information in the system.
There are several ways to reset passwords in such a scenario but today I am going to focus on the use of a password reset disk to reset windows password in laptops and desktops. Let us take off below.
First of all, you have to gain access of another windows computer with administrative privilege.
Insert the flash drive or flash disk that you want to use in Universal Serial Bus of this computer.
Open control panel, (there are several ways to open control panel like, W+R then wright control, W+X then select control panel, or simply search control panel in the search bar)
In the control panel interface click user accounts link.
After that among the displayed links click on create a password reset disk. If it does not appear, then search it on the search bar on the top right part of control panel interface.
On the Forgotten Password Wizard that appears, click Next.
A drop-down list showing the labels of inserted disks in the USB ports will appear, select the disk that you want to use and tap on next.
An input area will appear requesting you to enter the current user account password. Enter the password and tap on next.
The progress will run up to 100% indicating the completion of the process. Tap next and finally tap on
