Windows 10: Resetting User password

I have a computer in which the user account password has been forgotten. I can not access safe mode, can't seem to get a administrator account to appear, I am totally locked out of the computer. How do I get into my computer. I have tried going through BIOS, troubleshooting, Advanced settings, through the "HKEY......" blah blah, etc
