A password reset disk or USB drive is a file you create on a USB drive or floppy disk that when inserted in your PC, allows you to reset your password if you forget it.

1. Open Control Panel.

2. Under "User Accounts", click "Create a password reset disk".

4. Select the USB drive you want to use, and then click "Next".

5. Enter your password, and then click "Next".

6. Confirm your password, and then click "Finish".

Once you completed the steps, the wizard will create the file on the external drive that you'll need if you forget your password.

If you don't have a password reset disk or USB drive

If you don't have a password reset disk or USB drive, you can create a bootable USB flash drive with Kon-Boot to bypass the password and login to Windows 8.

Kon-Boot is a program that allows you to login to Windows without knowing the password. Once you boot from the Kon-Boot USB drive, you'll be able to login to Windows without entering a password.

To use Kon-Boot, follow these steps:

1. Download the Kon-Boot ZIP file.

2. Extract the ZIP file to a folder.

3. Connect a USB flash drive to your PC.

4. Open the Kon-Boot folder, and then double-click on the konbootv2.exe file.

5. In the "Kon-Boot" window, select the USB drive you want to use, and then click "Write".

6. When the process is complete, click "Exit".

7. Disconnect the USB flash drive from your PC, and then connect it to the PC you want to login to.

8. Boot from the USB flash drive.

9. When the Kon-Boot screen appears, press any key to continue.

10. On the "Welcome to Kon-Boot" screen, select your operating system, and then click "Login".

11. You should now be logged in to Windows without entering a password.

Once you're logged in, you can change your password by going to the Control Panel, and then clicking on "User Accounts".
