    i’ve tried almost every password i can think of and i’ve tried answering the security questions many times. the reason i need to get in so bad is because i need to factory reset it because it is going to someone else.

  3. forgotten user password

    Do you use a Microsoft Account to login to your computer? If so, you can reset it online. If not, your options locally are limited to doing things like a factory reset (so your computer is "good as new" and you can pick a new password that you want to
    use).

    Here's a listing of all your options to reset a forgotten Windows Password.
