You can't use a flash drive. Since you don't have a floppy drive you
can instead create the password recovery disk (floppy) on another
computer. Then use your burning software to copy the floppy image to
a bootable CD. Set your notebook to boot from CD first and it'll work
the same way. You can create a bootable CD with the floppy image by
using either EasyCD or Nero.
