Window 10 Password Reset Disk Error

Dear All,

I am trying to create a Password Reset Disk for emergency cases. After creating one, I do some testings by trying to reset with newly created Password Reset Disk USB. I have encountered this error (below image). After one round of Googling, it seems to be the error appears if the Password Reset Disk is not matched with the account. But I am fully understand that I need to create Password Reset Disk using the account I want recover in the future (and I have only one account in my laptop anyway).

Then I try to create a new account, and do the same steps on new account. It works perfectly on new account, but not the original account that I have.

Background: I bought this laptop as the second hand, so the original account is the previous owner's account. After bought over, I change some basic info in that account, but not anything important so I assume the account is not corrupted. I don't want to abandon this account as it seems the subscribed Office is only available on this account.

Can you guys suggest any possible causes of this strange behavior of Password Reset Disk? Many thanks.

create a password reset disk

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
disk.

We're looking forward to your feedback.
