Windows 10: I forgot my device password.

I've been using a PIN to log into my laptop that its been so long and I forgot the password. I can't remember what it was and It appears that I did not save it. I am still able to log into my device with the PIN, but I'm wondering if there's a way to reset the password without resetting the whole Laptop and deleting its data.
