Windows 10: Is there a way to reset my local password from another device ?

My asus vivobook screen is shattered. I can only see enough to input the password. I’m trying to make sure I know the password so I can sell it for parts but the password isn’t working so I don’t remember it. Is there a way I can reset it from another device ?

Managing password resets for local admin

Not sure exactly where to post this thread, so please move, if necessary. Here's my problem:

I work for a large company with offices all over North America. We have hundreds of printers and scanners. I have proposed to the security team that we come up with a password policy for these devices. The issue is that the sheer scale of the password update project is massive (from my own, inexperienced perspective). Updating the local admin password on all these devices will take significant man hours. I haven't found a solution online to possibly script the changes and send commands through SSH/PuTTY, or something over the network. The closest I found was someone who had created a VBS script, but it won't work in our environment. Do any of you have experience here that could share your process? I'm praying there's a nice, convenient way to centrally manage the passwords, but I have come up empty so far.
