Windows 10: The password reset disk windows 10 wizard is not responding

I am trying to create a password reset disk for a Widows 10 Home (64 bit) system version 10.0.17134.

I am using a local account with admin privileges.

Under Control Panel -> User Accounts I have an option to "Create Password Reset Disk", but when I click on it nothing happens (i.e. the wizard does not start).

Any suggestions will be appreciated.

Thanks in advance...

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.

 

Password Reset Wizard

Hi! I'm having trouble with my Password Reset Wizard. I used Windows 7 Professional laptop to download my reset disk on a USB drive to use on my Windows 10 laptop and I didn't use my original Administrator because it wouldn't work so I created a new administrator
and it worked! However when I try to use this Password Reset Wizard I can get passed the second step but then a message says "An error occurred while the wizard was attempting to set the password for this user account". What do I do? And yes I forgot my password
to my windows 10 laptop.
