Frequently asked questions

Windows Setup CD or ISO image of the same Windows version is required to make a Windows Key password reset CD or USB drive. If you do not have a Windows Setup CD, you can request a Windows Key ISO download.

The most probable cause is that your SCSI or RAID hard-disk drive controller is not supported by the standard Windows Setup CD used to create a password reset disk. Please download additional drivers for your RAID/SCSI controller at the hardware vendor website. Specify the downloaded driver while creating a password reset ISO image file, and Windows Key will copy it on the image.
