Windows 10: How do I sign in to my administrators account when I don't have the password or reset disk...

When I tried to sign into my PC I got a message stating something happened and my PIN is no longer available. The message directs me to reset my PIN by clicking the reset pin option, however the option does not do anything. This is the only account with admin privileges and I do not have the password or a reset disk for the account.

Sign in with a Microsoft account instead. Administrator account

I have Windows 10 Pro since its release. Today, I decided to switch the email account for the computer administrator account. The following steps outline the sequence of events;

1. I logged in as a local account.
2. Clicked on Sign in with a Microsoft account instead
3. Followed the steps prompted. I entered my email of choice and the corrected password, then verified through the authenticator app.
4. I was asked to enter the password again, and now I am getting an error message that the password is incorrect
   but the password is correct 100%
5. Researched possible solutions
   • Used the English (United States) keyboard
   • Used on-screen keyboard
   • Reverting to Windows 7 is not possible as I never had it on my laptop
   • Reset my password
     • Nth worked

Please help me sign to my email account on this computer as an administrator

create a password reset disk

Hi,

Creating a password reset disk requires you to sign in using a local account, and there shouldn't be an issue of doing it. However, we would like to know what do you mean by "nothing happens". We also suggest that you check this
article to see if you're doing the same steps for creating a password reset
disk.

We're looking forward to your feedback.
