How to use a reset disk for a local account?Does a reset disk only work for the account you made it on?

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.

 

Disk management console view is not up-to-date

i dont know how to fix your disk management, but i can fix your partition problems...




open up Command Prompt with admin rights. (Right click, run as admin)


enter in
DISKPART
list disk

then find the Disk number for your Raid array... lets call it number 7 ( you can tell what disk is what by the total size)
type in

Select Disk 7
List Partition (will give you a list of all the partitions..)
Select Partition 1 (im assuming you only have 1 partition on Disk 7) repeat this step if you have more partitions.
ASSIGN


that should get the array up and running ready to use.


EDITED.

any problems, post back ^^


Still EDITING *Stick Out Tongue

side question, have you tried restarting the PC?

 

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.
