Windows 10: Windows 10 resetting admin password

Hey, recently i got an old computer and it has an admin and user account. I want to reset the password cause no one has it, I've tried other methods such as making a .bat that installs it.
set __COMPAT_LAYER=RunAsInvoker
start MediaCreationTool20H2

I've also tried changing files in recovery mode to allow me to access the cmd to reset the password but that also asks for a password when it boots.
and finally, I've tried to install windows on a jump drive I bought but I can't install it to the drive without the password.

this is the only computer in the house so I cant run a password fixer on this computer and change the admin.

Any help is appreciated.

Forgotten admin password.

Sorry but "Admin account" might be a description. Is your answer to 1 that you are signed in to the built-in account with the username Administrator or do you just mean that you are signed in to an account that has admin status [an account that you have made at some stage]?

The account to select in the list is the one that you want to reset the password to. If that is the one you are signed in to then you'll get that To change your password press Alt+Ctrl+Delete message instead [and the existing password is needed in order to do any change].

You need to be signed in to a different admin user account in order to reset the existing one's password. By the way, you will lose all your saved internet sign-in credentials by resetting it.
- You could create a new password-protected, admin-level local user account {steps given in a separate post below} then sign in to it so you could then use netplwiz to reset the original one.
