Have you ever forgotten your Windows login password? It's a dreadful feeling, isn't it? It happens to the best of us, but if you create a Windows password reset disk, you won't ever have to worry about it again. This article guides you through the steps of creating a Windows 8 password reset disk. So next time you are locked out of Windows 8 at the login screen, you can plug in this password reset disk in your computer and reset Windows 8 password.
Note: You can only create a Windows 8 password reset disk before you forgot Windows 8 password. If you already forgot your password, you need to use the WindowsUnlocker utility to reset your password.
How to Create a Windows 8 Password Reset Disk
- Press the Win+F key combination to bring up the Search page, type "password reset" in the search box, you'll find the "Create a password reset disk" option.
- Click on the "Create a password reset disk", you'll be greeted with a wizard. Insert your USB drive and then click Next.

A password reset disk can only be used to reset the password of a specific user account, it doesn't work on other accounts available on your computer.
