Bootable USB key

[Mick_Marsh]

Ok, chaps.
I had a bit of wine with friends last night. Maybe a bit too much because I've killed those brain cells that contain my computer password.

What I need is a USB memory stick that can boot up so I can retrieve a few files

or

something that can reset my password.

Windows 8.1

Thanks.

I've used this one ... Pogostick-ntpasswd (https://pogostick.net/~pnh/ntpasswd/) ... with success on a Win7 install.
