    I am locked out of my windows. How do I get back in?


    I just reinstalled my windows back in my laptop after using Ubuntu. Now my laptop, in windows OS, has a password I did not set up. Now I was locked out and I don't even know the password "my account" had. And now to be able to change the password on my windows, it's asking me to enter the old password which I don't even know. I have the email. Can you guys just send me the windows account password change link to my email? This is such a hassle.

    :)

    I am locked out of my windows. How do I get back in?

    Windows 10 Tweaks

    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

    • Open a new Explorer window.
    • Click View in the ribbon.
    • Click Options.
    • Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
    • Click OK
