Windows 10: Unable to reset family PCs password.

I was trying to fix something with the PC, and that eventually led to me trying to reset the Windows password because my parents forgot it or we've been just putting in the right password but it just says it's incorrect and the PC just signed us in automatically anyway without having to type it in. I tried pressing reset password, but it just told us to get a USB Flash Drive. Did that, but it said we didn't have a password reset disk, so now it's basically impossible to get back in.I've turned to YouTube videos to find any solutions, but a lot of them sound really complicated to carry out.
