P.S. My PC is Windows 7 Ultimate and had the password reset without losing any data!
A Password Reset Disk for Windows 7 is a special disk (usually a USB flash drive) that you can create to reset your user account password in case you forget it. This disk is associated with a specific user account and allows you to create a new password without needing the old one. It's a preventive measure that you need to set up before you forget your password.
When you forgot Windows 7 password, you can use this password reset disk to unlock Windows 7 computer without any data loss! However, you should create the password reset disk in advance. You don't have the option available to do this if the computer is locked for access due to wrong password!
