Windows 10: Forgotten windows password

Hello,


I have forgotten my password that I need to sign-in to my computer. I automatically sign-in when I start my computer so I have no problem accessing my computer but anything that requires my windows password I can't do. And when I try to reset the password it says I need to create a password reset disk and to do that I need to enter my password, which I don't know.

So, I don't know my windows password and I can't reset it since I don't have a password reset disk and the hint is only: "Pig" which doesn't help.

I am not logged in to a microsoft account on my computer either nor do I have a PIN.

So does anyone know how I can reset my password or do I need to reset my computer?

:)
