How to Use a Password Reset Disk in Windows 10

A password reset disk is a physical disk or USB flash drive that contains a password reset program. This program can be used to reset the password of a user account in Windows 10.

To use a password reset disk, you must first create one. To do this, you will need a blank USB flash drive and a computer that you can log into with your Microsoft account. Once you have these two things, you can follow the steps below to create a password reset disk.

1. Insert the USB flash drive into the computer.

2. Open the Control Panel and click on User Accounts.

3. Under the User Accounts page, click on the link that says "Create a password reset disk".

4. A wizard will now open up and guide you through the process of creating a password reset disk.

5. Follow the instructions on the wizard and select the USB flash drive that you inserted earlier.

6. The wizard will now create the password reset disk and you should see a message saying that the process is completed.

7. Close the wizard and remove the USB flash drive.

You can now use this password reset disk to reset the password of a user account in Windows 10. To do this, follow the steps below.

1. Insert the password reset disk into the computer.

2. Reboot the computer and press the key that will take you to the boot options menu. This key is different for different computers but is usually F2, F12, or Esc.

3. Select the option to boot from the USB drive.

4. The password reset program will now launch.

5. Follow the instructions on the screen to reset the password of the user account.

6. Once the password is reset, you can remove the USB drive and reboot the computer. You should now be able to log into the account with the new password.

If you don't have a password reset disk or if it doesn't work, then you can use a third-party software like Kon-Boot to reset the password. Kon-Boot is a software that allows you to login to a computer without knowing the password. It works by patching the Windows kernel and bypassing the password check.

To use Kon-Boot, you will need to download the software and create a bootable USB drive. Once you have done this, follow the steps below.

1. Insert the Kon-Boot USB drive into the computer.

2. Reboot the computer and press the key that will take you to the boot options menu. This key is different for different computers but is usually F2, F12, or Esc.

3. Select the option to boot from the USB drive.

4. Kon-Boot will now launch and you should see a message saying that the password has been bypassed.

5. You can now login to the account without needing the password.

Kon-Boot is a great tool to use if you need to reset the password of a user account in Windows 10. It is also useful if you forget your password and don't have a password reset disk.
