Windows 10: I'm locked out of my computer . . .

II was removing the password from the login, lock screen. I went into the Bios,
during the process. Andd I somehow deleted my account. Stupid of me! Now,
I'm locked out of my computer. When, I put in my password, it says, try again.

To reset my password, it says I need a DVD drive. But, it's a Dell. They have no DVD
drive. They do everything with USB drives. I do have another Dell, which is what,
I'm using now. But, this computer was a replacement. And, I have to send it back.
But, I need to get that computer fixed first. It's a catch 22. I'm locked out?

In the state, the computer is in, would their be anyway to get it to reset? I have
everything backed up to a USB drive. So, wiping it would me OK.

I can create a Windows 10 installation, on a USB drive, if that would help? I remember
before, when I reset a computer, it just did it thru the WiFi cloud. So, please tell me,
you have an idea, on how I can fix this? So, my question is. Can I force a reset?

Thanks for reading . . . Jerry
