I tried to make a second Password Reset USB stick. Windows said if I do that, the first one will become unusable. There must be some way to make a backup USB stick. Thank you............
Hello Nisko,
When you create a password reset disk on a USB flash drive, it will create and add a userkey.psw file on the USB flash drive for the specific local user account. You can copy the userkey.psw file to another location as a backup. If you need to restore it, copy it to the root directory of a USB flash drive. :)
Password Reset Disk : Windows 7 / Vista
Thank you - but what do you mean by 'if you need to restore it?'
If you lost your Password Reset USB, you could restore or create a new Password Reset USB by copying the backed up userkey.psw file to the root directory of the bootable USB. :)
Thank you!! Please tell me how to make a bootable USB stick so I have one more way to protect me from a disaster.
Thanks, but I'd still like to make a boot USB stick and need instructions.
