    I forgot the administrator password on desktop computer not my Microsoft account password is there a way to either reset it or find out what it is? Upon installing the latest windows 10 update my computer isn’t booting up. It says in order to uninstall the update I need to login as an administrator but it won’t take my password.

    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 I forgot my administrator password on my desktop computer not my Microsoft account password... :).

    Forgot Windows 10 password...

    If it's a Microsoft account, you should be able to change the password via another computer at live.com and the password should also change to match on the computer (obviously make sure it has internet access first). The password is verified online during login.
