Hi Tiger29,

The password reset disk will allow you to reset the password to a new or blank one. You can see how to use it in the video in Method Four here if needed. It can only be used on the computer and user account that it was created on.

Reset User Account Password

Hi Tiger29,

You can create the Reset Disk from Method Three in the same link instead of the one from Method Four to reset any computer.
