Suppose if you are in the same situation, you would be so much worried about your laptop and the data inside it. Have patience and don’t panic; you just need to understand and look for ways to reset your Asus laptop password. In this article, I will guide you step by step with complete details that how you can reset an Asus laptop password with/without disk. Let’s start learning to reset the laptop’s password with disk first.

Part 1. How to Reset Asus Laptop Password with Disk

In this part, I will explain some effective methods that will help you reset your Asus laptop’s password. There are two methods: first, use a password reset disk created before you lost the password; second, use a Windows password recovery to create a password reset disk. Let’s begin with the first method.

1.1. Reset Password on Asus Laptop with Password Reset Disk

Password reset disk is simply a data storage. It can be a USB flash drive, an SD card or a disk. The password reset disk contains a file that will allow a user to reset their Asus laptop’s password. This method will only work for you if you have created a password reset disk before.

It seems a very easy and effective method, but you need to keep in mind that it’s not a general password reset disk that you can use on any Asus laptop to reset passwords. A reset password disk can only be used on a laptop on which it was created. On the other hand, every version of Microsoft Windows has a different option for creating a password reset disk. Let’s follow the step to proceed:

Step 1. Plug-in password reset disk or flash drive in Asus laptop.

Step 2. Now restart your Asus laptop, and a text field will appear to enter your Asus laptop’s password.

Step 3. A “Reset Password” option will appear on the sign-in screen if you have already reached the maximum sign in attempts. But if you don’t see this option, you can enter any keys in the password field and press Enter, and the “Reset Password” link will appear.
