Windows 10: Forgotten password on seldom used pc

I have a pc that is seldom used, it may be w8.1 or w10, and have tried every log on password that I can think of. If I can get it running, then the password will be changed to be in my current series of passwords that get used with the other pc's.*Confused

If you've forgotten your Windows password, there are several ways to retrieve or reset it:

• If your PC is on a domain, your system administrator must reset your password.
  
• If you're using a Microsoft account, you can reset your password online. For more info, go to the
  
  Reset your password webpage.
  
• If you're using a local account, use your password hint as a reminder.
  

If you've tried these suggestions and still can't sign in:

• If you have Windows 8.1, you'll need to reinstall Windows.
  
• If you have Windows RT 8.1, you'll need to contact your PC manufacturer.
