Windows 10: Lost Computer Password

I changed my password for my computer Acer/Windows and I've tried almost everything but I can't get into my computer. The password was changed after a breach of privacy and I've reset my computer completely since. I can't make sense of the hint I set for myself. I really need help.

Lost My Administrator Password

To which "this" are you referring?
- If you are following the tutorial Bree suggested in the very first reply to your question then what you need to do at each step is explained in detail. So which step are you at?
- If you are following a different procedure then state what it is and which step you are at. If, for example, you are trying to manually enable the Built-In Admin as suggested in post #11 then that account has no password.
