    Windows 10 Reset Password?


    My computer has started playing silly games so I have decided that I will reload Windows 10. To do this, I will take the option of retaining my files and reloading the rest. Things went well for a while and then I got a box with my name in it and a request for a password. Now everything stops because I have no idea what password is required and there is no help in reminding me of it. I only have one Microsoft password and this is used with my OneDrive account. That is not the one required for Windows 10! So can anyone tell me how I can find this illusive password, or are there any workrounds to get this Windows 10 reloaded? I would really appreciate some advice.
