Need help to create a Windows 11 password reset disk

Question

Is it still possible to create a Windows 11 password reset (USB) if I forgot the password? Windows 11 keeps asking me changing the password every three months and I forgot to save the recent one.

I heard the password could be reset easily with the help of password reset USB. Most importantly, this will not delete any file from the computer.

Can I make a password reset USB on another PC and use it to reset the password of my locked Windows 11 computer?

Answer 2

Hello,

You have to be able to log on to the machine to be able to creat teh password reset disk. You cannot create one on a different machine.

Did you do the security questions so you can reset teh password?

Did you use an online account to create the Windows account, if so you can change the password on the online account.
