  "How to create and use a password reset disk in Windows Vista"

  To create a password reset disk, you must have writable removable media, such as a floppy disk or a key USB flash drive.

• Password reset disk only describes the use of floppy drive A (and they are obsolete). Password reset disk cannot be a CD-DVD, I can use a USB flash instead of the floppy drive?

  I wanted to create a RESET DISK of PASSWORD, but NOOOOO - my machine has a FLOPPY DRIVE. No product only the CD/DVD PLAYERS and one cannot change the a drive to a different letter designation.

  If you really NEED to do this, you are up the proverbial Creek, apparently.  Hard to believe!   How long has he given now that ANYONE used FLOPPEIES (small square disks)?  Certainly, we are asked not to believe that nobody is realized for this oversight!  I TRIED a CD/DVD - no dice.  My machine has 2 CD/DVD players, a Terrabyte Mobile with a slot drive.  My spouse has built this machine, and it is ensured that there are enough USB connectors that I could plant some tulips!  (It's photography & video editing - retirees have a busy life, that pays well.)  There are sites for readers of any persuasion EXCEPT the 1998 'PLACE floppy DISKS'.  Also, as with most machines, I do not want to return and crush things that my husband has a loading on the drives and call other than the names they bear within the network as things go well, otherwise.  We can't decide to call H Drive (CD/DVD drive), drive A, to say, just for the sake of my need to create a password reset disk.  My machine does not allow me to do things on the "fly".  I have to create a NEW one (and download something from those that already exist).  A ray of light shines through the same mess!  I think that maybe I can use a "USB key"?  Does not have a CD rom, but just explore, I ran across the words using a player instead of 'A' USB flash drive.  Hoping that USB key or "memory stick" is acceptable!

  Hi Janice,.

  If you are using Vista, please see the following: http://www.techrepublic.com/blog/window-on-windows/create-a-vista-password-reset-disk-using-a-usb-flash-drive/547.

  If using Windows 7, please see the following: http://www.techrepublic.com/blog/window-on-windows/use-a-usb-flash-drive-to-create-windows-password-reset-disk-in-windows-7/4142?tag=rbxccnbtr1.

  From what I read, it seems quite simple and easy in both cases.  And not worry about drive letters - it will take whatever drive letter you choose (or who has been assigned to the flash player).

  I hope this helps.

  Good luck!

  I have Adobe CS3, DVD and Cert, but I can not disable the old license that the computer is dead. I would like to re - use again on a newer PC. I asked Adobe in the phone and chat and says that I need to fix this on the forum ONLY.

  Unless it is a volume license, cat help should be able to reset your activation. If you contact Adobe technical support via chat and ask to reset your activations, then you can go back to have two available if you think you would like the opportunity to install again a backup facility.

  A single user license allows you to have the software installed and enabled on both machines, so unless you have already activated with two machines, you still have available activation.  So without taking any other action, you should be able to install and activate on the new computer.

• I used a password reset disk to access the Password Wizard, whenever I have propose a new password, it gives the error message

  I used a password reset disk to access the Password Wizard, whenever I have propose a new password, it gives the error message "" an error occurred while the wizard attempted to set the password for this user account". I can't pass this screen and am virtually blocked the computer phone iam trying to access. What can I do? It comes to Windowns 7 Home Premium

  This probably means that your password disk drive is not up-to-date. Here are the other options built into Windows to help you get out of this situation:

  • 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 on to your account admin to spare, and then reset the password for your existing account (works only if you set up an alternative admin account).
  • Log in as administrator mode without failure, then reset the password for your existing account (the password is usually empty).
  • Use the password indicator (only works if an indicator was created and if it's good enough to allow you to guess the password)
  • Check your paper files (works only if you threw down the password somewhere)

• Password reset disk error - "year error occurred while the wizard attempted to set the password for this user account.

  Hello!

  -A bit of background: the desktop PC that I use is Windows Vista Ultimate Edition, with active user accounts total five. I have my own account, and I can access the computer through (or through account from my brother, because I know its password).--

  I had this problem recently came where the administrator password (that I know for a long time and never changed) no longer works. So, after some research, I created a reset password on a USB disk, that I found in my house. I managed to create the disc, but when I tried to put the new password, I got the message error "an error occurred while the wizard attempted to set the password for this user account', which I must say is not very clear. I found a few methods of force - reset the password for the account of the admin, as using a sort of Windows Vista DVD or go to Safe Mode to find the hidden administrator account... but I have no idea what this DVD is or where to find, and in Safe Mode, there is no account user administrator to be seen. I believe that my machine is corrupted, but I don't want to buy a new. I want just to reset a password...

  Any help is appreciated. If I was not specific enough, I can specify in comments.

  Thank you!

• Is it possible to make a password reset disk for windows 7 by using windows 8?

  Original title: password reset disk

  Is it possible to make a password reset disk for windows 7 by using windows 8. The reason why I ask this is because our Toshiba satellite laptop was stolen when our House was robbed. Fortunately the police recovered the laptop, but the password has been changed and we cannot use it. In the meantime, we have replaced the old laptop with a new one that has windows 8. I made a password reset disk using this, but it won't work on the old laptop.

  any advice would be great

  Best regards, Ian

  Hi Ian,

  You can create a password reset disk only when you are able to log on or access Windows 7 computer and after you have created a password for the same.

  Windows 8 password reset disk can be used only in Windows 8 computer where you created the password and not for Windows 7.

  You must create a Windows password reset disk before you forgot your password. You must also create a new password reset disk when you change your password in Windows.

  If you the administrator password are changed and is not a password reset disk or another administrator account, you will not be able to change or reset the password.

  For more information, see the articles:

  What is a password reset disk?

  Hi George

  I have shared your message in its own thread, because the thread that you had responded was very old.

  When you create a password for a user account, you have the option to create a password reset disk. It can be created on a floppy or USB key. The file placed on the drive is encrypted.

  If ever, you forgot your password, you can use this disk to log on to your account.
