  3. You should see ‘Forget Password Wizard’. Click on next button for further process.
  4. Select a drive (in our case USB device) for creating password reset disk. You can choose your pen drive location from the drop down menu. Then click on next button.
  5. Click Next to Start the process and click next to Finish the process.
