Windows 10: Forgot my password & windows keep Diagnosing+ preparing auto diagnosis

Hello! My laptop keeps diagnosing problem and it fails to repair the laptop. I have referred to the guides provided online where it states that I should move onto Advanced settings and try command prompts. But this requires you to remember your account password...which I have unfortunately forgotten because of my goldfish memory.... I even reset my password via microsoft website but it still shows the password as incorrect on my laptop. Please help me fix this issue! Would be highly obliged

Password Auto Complete Forgot Password


In don't want anyone to reveal my password. I have a website that I have auto completed om IE 11. The site is work related and its asking me to change my password, To do so I have to enter my current password or I cant update it so I'm a bit stuck. I am just wondering if anyone knew how I could find the password I heard there was a way through my computer on the stored auto complete passwords to get it. I have logged onto my work site for the past year on auto complete and I actually forgot the password.

 

Forgot password....

Um, are we talking about a windows password?

Lookup a program called Active Password Changer, its a bootable cd that will remove windows passwords *Smile

If it's a bios password, reset the bios *not so easy with some notebooks*
