    I've been in contact with Microsoft to gain access to my account every day. First, they told me to reset my password, but there would be a 30-day wait. I can't wait 30 days as I have to file my taxes among other reasons. I'm not a hacker or anything. Just an old lady who forgot her Microsoft password and lost fingerprint reader access after cleaning the outside of the laptop somehow.

    Forgot Laptop pin and password - Windows 10

    So I forgot the pin and password to my laptop

    I have tried booting in safe mode but it asks for my password which I don't know.

    I have tried to factory reset my laptop but it asks for my password.

    Every method that has been recommended asks for my password which I don't know.
