Windows 10: Can't sign in or change accounts.

I have windows 10, and an old computer I haven't used in a while. I start up, and I see the lock screen, which is just the time and date over my background. When I press any key it brings me to my account, without any ability to change accounts or anything except sign in. I can't do ctrl alt delete or any other command, and I don't have the password to my old account so I can't log in. I don't know if I am on a local account or something, but I can't get into my computer.
