  1. May I change or reset my forgotten password in Windows 10


    I've not used Windows 10 on my laptop for a while and today when I tried to login to my local Windows 10 account, I discovered that I couldn't figure out my password. Assuming that my laptop is not stolen and Windows 10 is also genuine, I was wondering, may I make use of tutorials similar to this one to change the password of my local account in Windows 10? Many thanks in advance, if it may be allowed to use such manuals.
