Windows allows you to create a “password reset disk” to use it to recover your Windows password, in case you forget it. The “Password Reset Disk” is a file which will be stored on an USB stick.
If you forget your password (how to create password for Windows) used to logon into your Windows account, you can recover or change this password if you have this USB stick with this file.
It makes sense to create a “Password Reset Disk” if you already have a password for your Windows account.
