    Need help finding admin password


    So someone in my family (presumably my parents) accessed my Lenovo ThinkPad laptop when I wasn't using it and changed the admin password, and restricted a lot of my computer activities. I can't download stuff without their permission, they hard uninstalled my games, and told me to focus more on school. Soooo, I need a way to get the admin password or change it. I've tried a lot of methods to bypass the password like using .bat files, going into automatic repair, etc. I think these methods mainly word on desktop computers, and not on laptops like the one I have from Lenovo. Anyone have any bright ideas? Please and Thanks!
