This article explains how to create a Windows password reset disk, a specially created disk or USB flash drive that restores access to Windows if you forget your password. It's a useful step if you often forget your password, and it's easy to create; all you need is a USB flash drive or floppy disk.

Create a password reset disk in Windows 11, 10, 8, etc. using Windows’ built-in forgotten password wizard. The specific steps may vary based on the version of the operating system you’re using, but the basic process is the same.

In Windows 11, you can search for it using the search utility on the taskbar.

In Windows 10 and Windows 8, you can find it via the Power User Menu by pressing Win+X.
