Windows 10: Password, account and laptop

I don't know which specific area this falls intoI tried to login to my laptop but forgot the password. It says to go to microsoft.live.com I go there but could not find this laptop in may microsoft account, but it does show up on my microsoft store account and it shows the device as being linked, but I can't do anything with it. I tried to add the laptop using the serial number, but my microsoft account does not find this specific laptop.

Local Account password changed to Online Account Password

Hi,

I suggest you to follow the steps on how to switch from Microsoft account to Local account:

• Click on search in taskbar and type account.
• Click on Accounts.
• Now, under Your account, click on Sign in with Local account instead.
• Enter your Microsoft account password for confirmation and then follow the screen instruction.
• Enter User name credentials for your the Local account and click OK.
• Now, login to Local account.

Hope it helps.

FORGOTTEN PASSWORD To gain access to Laptop

To tell the truth, I must profess ignorance

When all this started I went through the following steps:.
1) Turn on the laptop picture of a fjord appears.
2) A left click on the screen causes the user name to appears with the password box under it.
3) Anything(or nothing) typed into the password box, with a tap to the enter key then brings the command to try again.

See, I can't seem to get anywhere except I somehow(during my efforts to try variations of the password hint) ended up getting a screen that was related(I think) to BIOS.
That allowed me to go through some settings(administrative?) and choose a password. I chose to do that.
Aha I thought.
All that did was give me a log in command box(for which I created a password) .
So now, instead of the 3 steps above I have to log in to get to the 3 steps above. A step I didn't have to do before.

What I'm trying to say is this(after all my fumbling about): that I still do not know the difference between a local user account or an MS account-linked user account.

All i know, at this point, is that I am stuck at step 3 and really am not sure what to do except maybe have my fiend reach out to ASUS.

I made a mistake in my first post. I do not have the OS disc. I have the ASUS DVD suite. I mistakenly assumed it was an OS disc. I talked to my friend and was told that her laptop came preloaded with Win10.

Thanks for your reply sir. I do appreciate it.
