  4. Forgotten Local Password

    forgotten user password

    Do you use a Microsoft Account to login to your computer? If so, you can reset it online. If not, your options locally are limited to doing things like a factory reset (so your computer is "good as new" and you can pick a new password that you want to
    use).

    Here's a listing of all your options to reset a forgotten Windows Password.
