    Howdy Folks *Smile
    I've been using my Windows 10 PIN for so long I'm embarrassed to say I've forgotten my password and have learned I need it to roll back to a system restore point.
    Google has suggestions on resetting my password, but I'd rather get some advice from my friends here.
    Appreciation to all who read this post and to those who reply.
    *Cool
