Tweet
Did you forget your Windows XP User password? You can click the "?" button to see your password hint. Or you can use your password reset disk. This article describes how to create a password reset disk for a computer that is not a member of a domain in Microsoft Windows XP.(that is part of a work group, or that is not connected to a network.)
What is the Windows XP Password Reset Disk?
Do you need to enter a password when booting into Windows XP Pro? Afraid you might forget this password down the road and not be able to run your PC? Make a password reset disk to protect against a lost password.
Note: You may want to know how to create a user login password to protect XP.
To protect user accounts in the event that the user forgets the password, every local user should make a password reset disk and keep it in a safe place. Then, if the user forgets his or her password, the password can be reset using the password reset disk and the user is able to access the local user account again.
The Forgotten Password Wizard lets you create a XP password reset disk that you can use to recover your user account and personalized computer settings if you forget your password.
How to create a XP password reset disk
To create a password reset disk for your local user account, use the following method.
Requirements
The following methods require a floppy disk drive and a blank floppy disk. As we all know, the floppy disk is easily damaged and it is out of date. In this demonstration, I will use a blank USB Fash Disk instead of floppy disk. Firstly make sure it is connected with your computer.
Steps
1. Click Start, and then click Control Panel.

2. In Control Panel, click "User Accounts".
Note: If youre viewing the Classic View of Control Panel, double-click on the User Accounts icon.

3. In the User Accounts pane, click the account that you want to work with. Here I will click my account name "Andy".

5. In the drop-down menu, there are 2 options for us to choose. One is "Floppy A", another is "WPKEY" (It is the name of my USB Flash Drive). Select the "WPKEY" and then click "Next".

6. In the "Current User Account Password" box, type Andys password , and then click "Next". The Forgotten Password Wizard will start creating the disk.
Note: If the user account does not have a password, just leave it blank in the Current user account password box.

The password reset disk contains only one file called userkey.psw, which is an encrypted version of your password.

Finally
Label the disk and store it in a safe place. You can use the password reset disk to gain access to your Windows XP-based computer if you forget your password.
Tips:
1. You only need to create a password reset disk for your Windows XP logon password once. No matter how many times you change your password, this disk will always allow you to create a new one.
2. Keep in mind that anyone who possesses this disk will be able to access your account at any time, even if you change your password. Youd better store it in a safe place.
3. Not a Windows XP user? See the guides for other Windows versions.

With a Password Reset disk that was created before you forgot Password

Anyone can forget a password. Okay you may think it will never happen to you, but think again, because it may just happen. Forgetting your user account password is no big deal providing you have taken the necessary precautions to create a Password Reset Disk.
Sadly, if you havent created a password reset disk for your Windows operating system then gaining access to your PC will become a nightmare. Im not saying that it is impossible, because it isnt. However, this tutorial refers to resetting your user account password with the aid of your Windows 7 Password Reset Disk.
The first you will know about your password being wrong is when you type the password in at boot up and a message appears telling you that the user name or password is incorrect. It is at this stage that you need your password reset disk.
Once you have your Password Reset Disk (you should have created this either on a floppy disk or a USB flash drive. See: Create a Windows 7 Password Reset Disk) you should insert the disk (or USB stick) into the relevant drive and then proceed as follows:
1. After you have typed in the wrong password a message will appear informing you that the user name or password is incorrect, you should forgot Windows 7 Password. At this point, Click the "OK" button to take you back to the log on screen
username-or password-is-incorrect
User Name Or Password is incorrect error screen
2. After you have returned to the Windows seven log on screen look just below the password dialogue box and you will see a "Reset Password" option, Click on this to start the reset process.

3. After clicking on the "Reset Password" option the Password Reset Wizard will open

4. Click the "Next" button in the Password Reset Wizard screen
5. The next screen requires you to insert the password reset disk
6. If you havent already done so, insert the floppy disk or USB Thumb drive that holds the password reset file and then select the drive from the password key disk is in the following drive dialogue box.
Now press the "Next" button
select windows 7 password key disk
Insert the Password Reset Disk and then choose the drive from the drop down list
7. You are now presented with the "Reset the User Account Password" screen

8. Type in the new password you wish to use and then type it in again to confirm your selection. Next type in a password hint and then click the "Next" button.
9. The next screen to appear will be the "Completing the password wizard" screen. This should tell you that you have successfully reset Windows 7 account password.

You have successfully reset your password
10. Finally click the "Finish" button.
11. You should now be taken back to the log on screen where you can type in your new password and gain access to your system.
So, Windows 7 allows us to create a Windows password reset disk (USB key) in case that you lost the Win 7 logon password. When you lose the password of Win 7, you can reset a new one with the created disk. The weak point is that you can only create the disk before losing your Windows 7 password. If you do not create that, it could not help.
I highly recommend Windows Password Recovery Tool Enterprise and use it as an example. What you need to do is just three steps (you need another computer to create the disk):
Step 1: Download Windows Password Recovery Tool 3.0
Step 2: Burn a Windows password recovery disk with the software
Step 3: Reset Windows 7 user password with the disk
I think the most efficient is using third party Windows 7 password recovery software. Have a try.

Not a Windows 7 user? Still Using XP or Vista? Dont know how to reset password on other Windows Versions? See these articles below.
