Windows 10: Is there any way to get back in to a Admin user if the password is failing?

earlier on this month, late on night I changed the password to my Laptop-user, unfortunately it was on public Wi-Fi. I worry that somehow someone has changed the password to something other than my initial change. either that or someone has read my book and physically changed the password themself. but i know that 1000% its not what I changed it too.I hope more than anything that there's a way to access the profile again as its Me on my own laptop and I cant even currently download a programme as a guest user on this device :?if anyone could help I would appreciate it exponentially! <3

Forgotten admin password.

Sorry but "Admin account" might be a description. Is your answer to 1 that you are signed in to the built-in account with the username Administrator or do you just mean that you are signed in to an account that has admin status [an account that you have made at some stage]?

The account to select in the list is the one that you want to reset the password to. If that is the one you are signed in to then you'll get that To change your password press Alt+Ctrl+Delete message instead [and the existing password is needed in order to do any change].

You need to be signed in to a different admin user account in order to reset the existing one's password. By the way, you will lose all your saved internet sign-in credentials by resetting it.
- You could create a new password-protected, admin-level local user account {steps given in a separate post below} then sign in to it so you could then use netplwiz to reset the original one.
