Windows 10: Forgot Password for Secondary User

I have a Windows 10 Operating System and I have a secondary user account set up on my computer. However, it's been more than a year since I logged into that account and I cannot remember the password. I've checked everywhere to locate instructions on how to reset the password. I'm the Administrator and can log into that account, because I know the password for the Administrator account. How can I reset the password for my secondary account?
