  1. Lost Password


    I'm trying to login to an older computer of mine. I was forced to change from a hotmail to an outlook email account so the "user" *** Email address is removed for privacy *** no longer exist per microsoft and I have long since forgotten the computer's password. If needed, I'm willing to wipe the computer clean and download everything again but would rather not. Any suggestions on how to proceed? Windows 10 is currently on the computer. Thank you.

    :)

    "What to do if you forget your Windows 8/8.1 password"

    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/what-do-forget-windows-password#1TC=windows-8

    If you've forgotten your Windows password, there are several ways to retrieve or reset it:

    • If your PC is on a domain, your system administrator must reset your password.
    • If you're using a Microsoft account, you can reset your password online. For more info, go to the

      Reset your password
      webpage.
    • If you're using a local account, use your password hint as a reminder.
    If you've tried these suggestions and still can't sign in:

    • If you have Windows 8.1, you'll need to reinstall Windows.

    • If you have Windows RT 8.1, you'll need to contact your PC manufacturer.
