    Can i use a different pc to make a password reset disk and use it on a different computer?


    I resetted my pin and then i turned off my pc, I turned it on after a while, it says that my pin was resetted and set up a new one, i click set up new pin and it doesnt work , now my 2nd choice is to use my password, which i dont because i use pin to log in, so i try to reset with my friends usb, but i need a password reset disk and the usb doesnt have one. So can i use my brothers pc to make one on my friends usb and make a password reset disk and use it on mine?

    :)

    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:
    https://account.live.com/ResetPassword.aspx


    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.
    Hope the information is helpful. If you need further assistance, feel free to write to us and we would be happy to help you.

    Thank You.
