    Forgotten local password


    Hi, I have recently gotten a new computer and set everything up and 'clever' me think it was smart to put a super complex password and forget it! There's only one account since I'm the only one using it which means it is the administrator account being locked. And I can't get all three of the Security Questions correct too! The only way I am able to access this computer right now is through pin and fingerprint but I would still like to know if there is a way to reset my password without resetting the whole PC! Please help!

    :)

    Administrator should not be listed after that net user Administrator /active:no command was run.

    Just reboot to make sure everything has worked through - and just sign in to one account not more than one. Choose either G3YAQ or VE2KM
