Sounds like you are not overriding the hard drive bootstrap - you need to follow the procedure to tell the computer to boot up from another drive - HP instructions on that for different versions of Windows here - if running a non-windows system google for the instructions from the company that created your OS.

Pay CLOSE attention to instructions on backing up your hard drive BEFORE recreating your password - because commonly (and especially if it crashes or freezes mid-operation) during a password recreation it ends up scrubbing your hard drive of everything on it - so back up all files from it first if the thumb drive startup will allow you to access the hard drive files. SHould if the password reset disk was made right.

Another possible issue - hopefully not your case - not all USB drives are bootable - depends on their formatting, though hopefully when you created it if it was not a bootable drive the system should have told you - but I don't know about that.

This problem is also happening with me because I also have tried logging in my account but it is showing error. It is taking me directly to the login screen and again asking the details.

Just visit the website ms word support phone number for support.

There is no option other than going to bios setting and alter the booting option. For more visit Firefox support.
