A password reset disk could really come in handy if you forgot windows 8 password. If you have previously created a password reset disk for your user account in Windows 8, then you can now use it to bypass Windows 8 password easily. Follow the step-by-step instructions:

Once you've typed the wrong password, Windows 8 will show a Reset password link below the login box.

  1. Click on Reset password. Make sure that password reset disk is plugged into the computer at this point.
  2. When the Password Reset Wizard appears, click Next to continue.
  3. Select the right password reset disk. Click Next.
  4. Type in a new password and a hint for the password. Click Next.
  5. Click Finish. Now you can log in to your PC with the new password.
