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 Windows Server 2012!
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. Start Windows-Run (command prompt) [Windows + R] enter the command RunDll32.exe keymgr.dll,PRShowSaveWizardExW. (... see Image-1 Arrow-1)!
Then just follow the instructions in the Windows 8.1 or 8 "Forgotten Password Wizard". 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!

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.

Make sure the disk is still in the drive and then type the current user account password. If the account does not have a password, leave the box blank.
