Windows 10: I forgot my administrator account's password and dont want to lose data. Is there a way to...

I forgot my administrator account's password. And when i was trying to unlock the account, i dont know somehow a setting showed up and by entering my Microsoft account, i succeeded to unlock the account. I tried to remove password but neither could i remove it nor change it. So just in case i made a local account. Now i want to delete that local account but since i dont remember administrator account's password, i can't delete it. All the rights and permissions are reserved by administrator account so i want to ask if there is a way to solve this matter without accessing the administrator acco

You need to boot into Safe Mode. Do this by mashing F8 when the computer is starting, right before Windows loads, until you see a bunch of options. Select "Safe Mode". It'll boot into Safe Mode, and bring you to the login screen. At the login screen, go in as "Administrator", and from there go to the control panel. In the control panel, open "users", select the account you forgot the password of, and click "remove password". Restart the computer and all will be well *Smile .
