    Windows 10 User Password

    Hello Ryan,

    Thank you for showing interest in Windows 10.

    Unfortunately there is no way to see what password you have stored on your account. I would suggest you to contact your brother and check if your brother remembers the password and can help you with it.

    The other way is that you reset the password (if you are using a Microsoft account)

    Reset your password

    If you are using a local account, you may remove the password and set a strong password again by yourself or by consulting your brother. To remove the password, follow the steps below:

    • Press Windows Key + R.
    • Type control panel and click on Ok.
    • On the top right corner, change the view by to large icons.
    • Click on User accounts. And then click on manage another account.
    • Under the list, select your account and click remove/delete password.

    Once the password is deleted, you may go to the same settings to set a new password.

    Hope this information was helpful. Let us know if you need any further assistance.
