Hi,

Creating a password reset disk requires you to sign in using a local account, and there shouldn't be an issue of doing it. However, we would like to know what do you mean by "nothing happens". We also suggest that you check this
article to see if you're doing the same steps for creating a password reset

Hi,

Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

Sorry for the inconvenience caused. I will assist you with this.

Note

  A password reset disk can only be created for local user accounts. If your computer is on a domain, a system administrator can reset your domain password. For Microsoft accounts you can reset the password by following the steps below
  
  • Sign in to your Microsoft account, then select
    Security & privacy.
  • Select Change password.
  • Enter your current password, then the new password that you want to use, then enter the new password again.
  • Select Save.
  
  

Try the following steps to create a password reset disk for a local user account.

• Login to your computer using the local account you want to create a password reset disk for.
• Insert a USB drive or SD card into the computer.
• Type Create a password reset disk and select it
• Click Next.

Hope the above information helps. Reply with necessary information and the result to help you further. Thank you.

 

Unable to create a reset passowrd wizard disk.

Hi,

This issue may arise due to the corruptions in the USB drive and as an initial troubleshooting step, I suggest you to use a different USB drive and check if that helps to resolve the issue.

Also follow the below steps to create a password reset disk:

Please be informed that password reset disks apply to local user accounts. If your Windows 10 user account is connected to your Microsoft account, then you can follow the steps outlined here by Microsoft to begin the password
reset process:

Now please refer to the below steps to create a Password recovery disk applicable for Local accounts.

• Log in to your computer under the user account for which you wish to create a password reset disk. Once logged in, connect your USB flash drive to one of your computer’s USB ports.
• Open the Start menu and type control panel
  into the search. Open the Control Panel by clicking it in the list of search results.
• In the Control Panel, ensure the View by drop-down at the upper right is set to
  Category. Then click the User Accounts
  link. On the screen that follows, click the User Accounts
  link once more. Doing so will take you to your user account settings.
• On the left side of the screen, click the link to Create a password reset disk. The password reset disk wizard will open in a new window.
• In the first screen that opens, click the Next button. In the subsequent screen, select the USB flash drive that you connected to your computer earlier.
• You’ll be asked to enter your password on the following screen; do so, then click the
  Next button. The wizard will now create your password reset disk.
• Ensure you keep your password reset disk in a safe place, as anyone with access to your computer can use it to reset the password for that user account.
