  2. Windows 10 "Forgotten Password Wizard" won't advance past first screen

    I am trying to create a password-reset disk in Windows 10. I inserted a flash drive into the computer and then went to ControlPanel -> CreatePasswordResetDisk. The Forgotten Password Wizard came up.

    I clicked "Next" (which should advance me to a dropdown menu of devices, from which I could select which drive I want to create the password-reset disk on) and nothing happened. The Wizard would not advance beyond the first screen.

    Any suggestions? Thank you!

    Forgotten Password!!

    Thanks, Brink!

    Was successful in changing the password on the person's local account. But leaving the 2 accounts showing on the login screen will be very confusing for the 82 yr old person owning the laptop..

    As suggested, I signed in to the built-in Administrator account, and now both accounts are local account and Administrator?? Did I do something wrong?

    Is this way to stop the built-in Administrator account from showing on the login screen:


    1. Hold the Windows Key while pressing “R” to bring up the Windows Run dialog box.
    2. Type: net user administrator /active:no
    3. Press “Enter“.
