Windows 10: Can you tell me how can I find my password which I have forgotten? Regards, John...

Windows 10 used to start automatically on my HP 24" all in one desktop via the camera recognizing my face. Providing a password was an option but I have never ever used it. For some reason when I turn my computer on now I see my Photo as usual but no photo is taken and the computer does not boot. The box asking for a password appears but I have long forgotten my password so I can't get into Windows 10 at all. Can you tell me how can I find my password? Regards, John Meredith.

Forgotten Password

Hi Guys,

I have had to create a new account as I had forgotten my password and couldn't find anywhere to reset the password, am I missing something, is there a password reset link I have missed?

Hi,

"What to do if you forget your Windows 8/8.1 password"

http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/what-do-forget-windows-password#1TC=windows-8

If you've forgotten your Windows password, there are several ways to retrieve or reset it:

• If your PC is on a domain, your system administrator must reset your password.
  
• If you're using a Microsoft account, you can reset your password online. For more info, go to the
  
  Reset your password webpage.
  
• If you're using a local account, use your password hint as a reminder.
  

If you've tried these suggestions and still can't sign in:

• If you have Windows 8.1, you'll need to reinstall Windows.
  
• If you have Windows RT 8.1, you'll need to contact your PC manufacturer.
