    My password expired and I forgot what it was how do I get onto my computer


    Hi, I forgot if I had ever set a password for my desktop but for the last few months after installing windows I haven’t had to put in a password. Out of no where my computer says my password expired and is asking for my password to create a new one. I have no idea what that password is and it’s giving me no hints or visible ways to reset my password. Please help.

    :)
