You said that you exported the file used to perform a disaster password recovery.
I did not say so. I do not know which file you are talking about. The "Create a Password Recovery Disk" Wizard did not create any visible file on my USB key (and I have configured Explorer to show hidden and system-hidden files).

"I have created a Password Recovery Disk". Yep, that means you created the .psw file, or you tried to create one, on whatever you selected as the storage media on which to save that file. The Password Recovery Disk wizard creates a .psw file that is about 1.5KB in size. If the file is not there, Password Recovery Disk did not work. Of course, you could re-initialize your USB thumb drive using whatever utility its maker provides for that device. Have you copied any other files to your USB thumb drive to know if it is still usable. They do go bad with repeated use or abuse and why they should never be used for permanent storage (or your only copy which means you should have a backup on other media).
