Windows 10: Admin sign-in - password incorrect when trying to convert HD for Win11

Hi, I am trying to convert my HD from MBR to GPT on win10 so that I can upgrade to Win11. When I go to advanced options > command prompt it asks for the admin account to use I choose the only one - me and then it asks for a password. It wont accept it, so I can go no further. I have tried resetting it but it still doesn't work. I can still log-in to Win10 OS ok with the password I use so what am I doing wrong?!

admin password?

You can reset the Admin Password using Windows XP repair; See Here for step by step.

Forgotten admin password.

Sorry but "Admin account" might be a description. Is your answer to 1 that you are signed in to the built-in account with the username Administrator or do you just mean that you are signed in to an account that has admin status [an account that you have made at some stage]?

The account to select in the list is the one that you want to reset the password to. If that is the one you are signed in to then you'll get that To change your password press Alt+Ctrl+Delete message instead [and the existing password is needed in order to do any change].

You need to be signed in to a different admin user account in order to reset the existing one's password. By the way, you will lose all your saved internet sign-in credentials by resetting it.
- You could create a new password-protected, admin-level local user account {steps given in a separate post below} then sign in to it so you could then use netplwiz to reset the original one.
