    REMOVE ADMIN


    Recently I was given a used Dell Windows 10 computer. Unfortunately, the previous owner forgot her password, which makes it hard to download any of my software since permission is needed. Can anyone help me? The setting page does not show Family & Sharing option or an option to remove admin.

    Thanks.
