Windows 10: Need help with automatic repair...

So I’m on windows 8.1 and have the automatic repair issue. I wouldn’t be posting here, since the ways to resolve it are self explanatory but it requires my password and I don’t have it. I also don’t remember my email either that was used to create the account (if I did use any). I’m not sure if the account is only local to the computer or not. I’ve never been required to use my password to sign in previously to get into the computer, it did that automatically. How do I resolve this if there is any way to?
