Create a password reset eg. recovery disk for Windows 8.1, 8 and Windows 10!


The solution to create a password reset disk to recovery account password in Windows 8.1, 8, Windows-10 and all MS Windows Server!




The password reset disk feature requires removable media, such as a USB flash drive. Please insert a USB flash drive or other removable disk, to create a password reset disk!

So, the best is to use a small USB memory stick! This is very good to be kept under wraps. 


1. Start Windows-Run (command prompt) [Windows + R]

2. Enter the command RunDll32.exe keymgr.dll,PRShowSaveWizardExW

Then just follow the instructions in the Windows 10, 8.1, ... "Forgotten Password Wizard".  

Ergo simple 5 steps to the goal :-)!

If already exists a Windows 8.1/8 password reset disk for this user account, creating a new one will make the old one unusable. 
If this disk already contains password reset information, this feature will replace the existing information!

1. Start the Wizard.(... see Image-1 Arrow - 1 and 2)

2. Select the password key disk: (... see Image-2 Arrow-1)  

3. Enter current user account password: (... see Image-3 Arrow-1) 

4. Progress, create the reset Disk: (... see Image-4 Arrow-1)

5. Completing the Windows Forgotten Password Wizard: (... see Image-5 Arrow-1)

This wizard helps you to create a "password reset" disk. If you forget the password for this user account and you are unable to log on, you can use this disk to create a new password.
 
Note: No matter how many times you change your password, you only need to create this disk once.

Warning: Anyone can use this disk to reset the password, and therefore have access to this account.

To store password recovery information on a USB flash drive, insert the USB flash drive before clicking Next.
