I am using Windows 10. I could not access my admin account and reset password gives this message "This feature requires removable media, such as USB flash drive ".
I have been using this machine for months and did not change its password. I don't know how come I had this issue. I have same password for the guest account and it worked well.
I have tried "reset password" on guest account and I could successfully recover password since it gives you option to reset password by authenticating via security code on your registered mobile number or email id.
I am not sure why this option is blocked for admin account and why it is asking me to provide removable media to recover password when I had never used removable media as a password recovery option.
Please help how can I fix this problem.

This feature requires removable media
The reset password requires that you previously (recommended after you complete your Windows 10 device set up) created a password reset drive first (like a USB drive) as a backup. This way, only someone with that drive (which you should lock up or keep hidden) could get into your computer.
Since you never created a password reset drive, then you cannot use this feature.
- Use the inbuilt Administrator account to reset your password
- Create a new Administrator account
Let’s take a look at the description of the process involved concerning each of the listed solutions.
1] Use the inbuilt Administrator account to reset your password
Now that you are in Safe Mode, you can use the inbuilt Administrator account to perform any necessary recovery. The inbuilt Administrator account should not be used for any other purpose, or it won’t be available in situations like this when you need it.

- In the Change Administrator’s password window, type in the desired password in the New password field, input the same password in the Confirm new password field.
- Click the Change password button.
- Restart the PC into normal mode.
On boot, see if you can log in with your administrator account with the new password. Else, continue with the next solution if the This feature requires removable media issue persists.
2] Create a new Administrator account
You can try this solution if Solution 1] above didn’t work for you for some reason or the other, most especially if your administrator account that is locked out is corrupted.
This solution requires you to log in to Windows 10 with the default/inbuilt administrator account, then delete the corrupt account and create a new Administrator account.
