    Can't get the forgotten password wizard to open


    I recently had to change my local Windows password and Windows Hello PIN. I'd like to update my Windows password recovery USB, but I can't get the "Forgotten Password Wizard" to open on the control panel. How do I get it to open?

    :)

    Forgotten Password Wizard - Current PW incorrecct

    I'm trying to create a forgotten password disk for an assignment in class. However, the Forgotten Password Wizard will not accept my current user account password. I've even reset my password to ensure it is correct. The password works for everything else,
    just not this wizard. I have to show my professor the file path for the disk, but can't get past this stage. Please help, this is due tomorrow. Thanks!

    Can't get the forgotten password wizard to open

    The password reset disk windows 10 wizard is not responding

    Hello John,

    In line with your concern, I'd suggest to try to force close and restart the Password Reset Disk/Forgotten Password Wizard. Refer to the steps below:

    1. Make sure to insert either a USB flash drive or disc. After clicking the Create a password reset disk. Press
    Ctrl + Alt + Del, then select Task Manager.

    2. In the Task Manager window, right-click on the Forgotten Password Wizard and select
    End task.

    3. Click once again the Create a password reset disk.

    Looking forward to your response.

    Regards.
