Windows 10: I somehow forgot my computer password

Hi, i made a new password for my computer yesterday, but when i types in my password earlier this morning, it didn't work. I have tried all sorts of variations, but still didn't work. I tried to restore my pc, but i need the bitlocker key in order to do so. I couldn't find the key for my computer in my Microsoft account even though my device is shown in my Microsoft account.I think that the key is located in my school account, which is also being used in my computer. The problem here is that i can't get accessed to the azure actove directory. I got this error code "Error code: AADSTS530031Erro
