  1. How do I reset my Windows password?


    I used to use a password to log in. I changed it to a PIN. For a long time I have been able to access my computer without using the PIN. That probably happened when I took the computer to a repairman to install a new hard drive. Today I realized that I no longer remember my PIN. Since I can access my computer without the PIN, I thought about resetting my password while I can still access the computer. What are my options to change my password?

    :)
