  1. I forgot my local account password and it's security questions. Any help?


    I recently asked for a solution to changing my local account password, but every question is the same. I can access this PC with my PIN, but my local password and my security questions are lost in my brain. I am considering using a bootable USB to reset it, but I want to see if there is another, official solution to this. Is there a way I can reset my local password and my security questions without losing data?

    :)
