Windows 10: How can I bypass the admin account or get rid of it without the password

Hi, me and my dad have built a pc around a year ago and the second day it was running, he forgot his password the only admin account. He used an AT&T email with his Microsoft account, and AT&T has blocked his access to his email as they got rid of the email department. Because of this he can not reset the password because the admin password is the same as his Microsoft password. We want to download games and other things but we need the admin password. Is there anyway we can do this?Thanks, B

Is there a way to bypass a password in windows admin local account?

Hello i want to know if there is a way to bypass a password in local admin account beacuse i forgot it and can t acces my PC

 

Forgotten admin password.

Sorry but "Admin account" might be a description. Is your answer to 1 that you are signed in to the built-in account with the username Administrator or do you just mean that you are signed in to an account that has admin status [an account that you have made at some stage]?

The account to select in the list is the one that you want to reset the password to. If that is the one you are signed in to then you'll get that To change your password press Alt+Ctrl+Delete message instead [and the existing password is needed in order to do any change].

You need to be signed in to a different admin user account in order to reset the existing one's password. By the way, you will lose all your saved internet sign-in credentials by resetting it.
- You could create a new password-protected, admin-level local user account {steps given in a separate post below} then sign in to it so you could then use netplwiz to reset the original one.
