  1. I forgot my password


    So, I'm an idiot. I made a password about a month ago, and never used it because I was using a picture password. I decided that I prefer the regular password, and deleted the picture password. When I restarted my computer, I was prompted with a password I dont know. How do I get back into my computer? I have no recollection of the password. Any ideas?

    Hardware: Dell Optiplex 990, RX 570, i5 2400, ssd and hdd.

    Also, mouse will not work in the bios
