Windows 10: Win 10 forgotten password

HP Pavilion 15-cx0000Win10 21H2 AMD Ryzen 5 2500U Raedon Vega 81TB HDDTwice within a week Win10 has forgotten my login credentials… first time I was completely locked out since it asked for a password for every single thing including cmd prompt which I knew was right, but win 10 insisted it was wrong. This time, it doesn’t login on the Home Screen, but in the repair process I can utilize the same password to access anything I need behind the scenes. I’m confused in a major way. Also, went at it several ways and have yet to find a winning solution to make the other user accounts appear at log

Forgotten password

Hi,

"What to do if you forget your Windows 8/8.1 password"

Change or reset your Windows password

If you've forgotten your Windows password, there are several ways to retrieve or reset it:

• If your PC is on a domain, your system administrator must reset your password.
  
• If you're using a Microsoft account, you can reset your password online. For more info, go to the
  
  Reset your password webpage.
  
• If you're using a local account, use your password hint as a reminder.
  

If you've tried these suggestions and still can't sign in:

• If you have Windows 8.1, you'll need to reinstall Windows.
  
• If you have Windows RT 8.1, you'll need to contact your PC manufacturer.
