Lou,
Never tried this so only a suggestion.
Empty the flash drive (copy its stuff somewhere first!)
Make the password reset disk on the flash drive (I have read that even
though the option is there it doesn't actually work - just rumor)
Copy the flash contents to a CD label it carefully and store in safe place.
When needed, copy the CD back to the flash, use the flash as the 'password
reset disk'.
My solution was to get a floppy drive for my machine (Dell) that did not
come with one.
Be sure to try out the 'reset password' operation before you really need it!
