Windows 10: Restore account saying my password is wrong.

I’m trying to restore a previous image of my desktop from a hard drive using the system restore function. But when I enter the tool it’s asking for the password of the account which I had changed after the backup was created. I no longer know this old password and the current password is returning with “the password is incorrect”. Is there any other way to load that backup without the need for the locally stored password.

Wrong Password

The "Old Password" is the password to your local account. It is about to change your local account to a Microsoft Account. If you don't mind this, then enter your local account password. If you think this is overly intrusive of Microsoft, don't do it and let Cortana die.

Microsoft account on wp8 saying my account password is wrong.

So, in detail. When I put in my password or code from 2-step verification into the password area of the Microsoft account in the accounts submenu it accepts it, says syncing with the account greyed out, then it tells me attention required on the account.
When I click on it I am prompted to reenter my password because it tells me the previous one is incorrect.
