How to create a password reset disk?

If you forget your password to log onto Windows 7, you can change it, without knowing the old one, by using a password reset disk. That's handy, especially for accounts that aren't used often. Remember to keep the disk in a safe place, though, because anyone else can also change your password and access your user account with it. Here's how to create it:

1. Log onto the account for which you're going to make the disc.
2. Decide what media you're going to use. It can be a floppy disk (if you have a floppy drive),
3. USB stick, flash card or external hard drive. Insert or connect the media.
4. Click Start Control Panel User Accounts.
5. In the left pane, click "Create a Password Reset Disk."
6. In the Forgotten Password Wizard dialog box, follow the instructions to make the disk.

Note: If your computer belongs to a domain, you cannot create a password reset disk. The domain administrator can reset your password for you.
