Password Reset Disk

[Guest]

I'm trying to create a password reset disk using the Forgotten Password
Wizard. When I get to the screen that says "I want to create a password key
disk in the following drive," the CD drive is not listed as an option. Can I
create this on a CD somehow?

Hello,

The passowrd reset disk can be created on a floppy disk. This is outlined in
details in the following KB:

Thank you, Anando, for responding so quickly.

I don't have a floppy disk drive (or maybe I'm not up on current terminology
and a floppy is not what it used to be), so will I have to buy an SD card to
create this on? Also, the directions on the page you mentioned say to use a
blank disk, so would I have to have a separate SD card for each user profile
for their password reset disk?

Hello,

No, you will have to use a floppy disk. If you dont have a floppy disk
drive, you can probably buy a USB floppy disc drive. The password reset disk
cannot be created on a SD card.
