I am Using Windows 7.

Step 4: A Dialog box will appear .
  • You must be needing a password to make it secure .

  • Type and Retype Your Password and press next
Step 5: Now save your recovery key .It is important and save it in a file with second option provided there and you must mail that to your account for future security if you forgot the password.
