Windows 10: Hello everyone. I need help with a forgotten password and security questions.

Hello everyone. As the title suggests, I forgot my windows password and security questions. I have set up a password and a pin and I've been using the pin all this time so I still have access to my machine. my friend yesterday had a problem with his password so I thought that I should check mine, then I found out that I can't remember it. I just want to reset it to guard against any future troubles.

Hi,

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.
