Hello,

I forgot my laptop password and try to reset it with Windows Password Key (http://www.lostwindowspassword.com/) because I don't want to lose my files. According to the instruction, I need to eject the Windows Password Key disc I burned before restart the laptop. However, there is no eject button and no "pull out" tray on this laptop. only a hole for inserting a disc. Could anyone know how to eject the disc in this case?

thanks!!!

There should be a small hole (enough for a pin to enter) next to the eject button on the DVD drive, use a pin (I use a clip) and insert it and push it gently. The drive should open up.

OK...you burned the disk.
Is Windows still running?
If so, open File Explorer. Select that drive letter. Right click, and select Eject.

I burned a disk using a different computer because I forgot this login password. This disc will help me to reset password. According to the instruction, I need to eject the disc before restart the laptop after going through resetting procedure.
