    Forgot my password

    If you don't already you might consider using a password manager. In addition to online usernames and passwords you could store your Windows user name, password, and PIN there. If you ever forget this information you could log into the password manager on your phone and retrieve it there.

    When Windows is installed the first user is of user type Administrator. Additional users are of user type Standard unless the added user requires otherwise.

    There is also a built-in user named Administrator that has a user type of Administrator. By default this user is hidden but you can un-hide it if you wish using your regular account that has user type of Administrator.

    Code:
    On my desktop I log in using my password. On my laptop I normally log in using my fingerprint. The fallback is my PIN and then my password.

    The accounts on my laptop including the hidden Administrator account.
