    Can I reset Windows 10 without knowing the administrator's password and can something go...


    My friend can't download programs etc. because he doesn't know the administrator's password nor the name of the administrator account. It seems like the best option would be to reset Windows 10, because we don't know a lot about computers. Is it possible to reset Windows 10 without knowing administrator's password? Will it allow us then to log in as an administrator? Can something go wrong while reseting? Also, if you have a better idea for solving this password problem, feel free to share.

    :)
