If we use a local account to log into Windows 10, a good idea is to create a password reset disk in case we forget the current password ..
It is enough to have a USB memory to execute this action.
We must remember that you cannot create a password reset disk if you are logging into Windows using a Microsoft account, this is because it is an online account and you can reset that password on the Microsoft website..
It is also important to clarify that anyone can use this USB disk to recover the password, so it is ideal to keep it in a safe place.
