create the disk to reset password for windows 7
I want to create a Windows 7 password reset disk. Instructions say to use a Flash DRIVE or a floppy disk, but I don't have a white flash drive, and of course my computer is not a floppy drive. I have blank CDs. Can I use this media for the reset disk? And if not, why not?
CarlS
It is not possible to use a CD or DVD to create a password reset disk. This is normal.
Why Microsoft chose not to allow it, I don't know.

Here are the usual methods to solve this problem:
- Restart the computer with your Windows repair CD, then use system restore to set Windows in a few days (only works if you have recently changed the password).

- Log in as administrator mode without failure, then reset the password for your existing account (works only if you have activated the account administrator and know its password).
- Insert your flash drive USB with the password key file (only works if you have created such a keyfile).
- Check your paper files (works only if you threw down the password somewhere)
If none of these standard precautions work for you, then the remedy will be painful. Post again if this is the case.

There are all kinds of tutorials on how to do this if you Google it.
The best way to reset your password for Windows user at this point is to create whats called Live CD (or USB).
You start in this Live CD and follow the instructions to reset the password.
You will need access to another computer and download the software to create the Live CD.
There are several Linux-based programs that do this, but I like Lazesoft.
I learned of the Lazesoft Recover My Password by looking at Britec09 which makes tech YouTube tutorials.Lazesoft makes the process easy and you don't need to know the command prompts.
The software downloaded will be also set up and install on a CD or a usb key without installing anything extra. Just follow the guests. The best part is a free edition just to remove the password.Go to this link to read about it.

I am in urgent need to reset password for the bios rom for my g2 440 probook. It has been days and I'm still stuck on the same screen.
Hello
Unfortunately, business machines such as Probooks or EliteBook have more strict security consumption patterns - they do not produce "stop codes", the password cannot be derived from the serial number and the code is stored in a nonvolatile memory to remove the RTC cell does not reset the password in this case.
If you Contact HP Business support they should be able to send you a file custom SMC.bin that you can use to reset the password at startup.
