    Changing my Admin's Password


    I recently changed my admin password on my Windows 10 computer.

    I am in charge of all accounts but don't use the admin account, instead I use the other account on this device.

    When trying to log in to the admin account I found that I was met with the issue of not remembering my password.

    I tried all the possibilities yet was not successful in logging in.

    I have important pieces of work on both the account I use and my admin account so to 'Reset and Remove everything' is not an option.

    I no of no way to log into my admin account and need to in order to access the work that is saved on it along with simply having access to my admin account that will enable me to allow any installation on any other accounts.

    :)
