Windows 10: Windows 10 unable to log in - forgot password and can't recall answers to security...

Hi,I changed my Windows 10 password to a more complicated password, used the pc and turned it off.Today I went to log in and I can't log in with the password that I set up. I was then presented with the 3 security questions and didn't get all the answers right so I can't get in that way either.Can anyone please help so I can log into my laptop as I can't work until this is resolved?Any help would be greatly appreciated.Thanks.Paul

Forgot Windows 10 password...

So I fired up my laptop in order to use it to flash a router without mucking around with the rest of my networking... and I forgot the password to log in. Is there anything I can do short of reinstalling windows, or downloading a Linux LiveCD? (If I do have to download something, I'd prefer the file size to be as small as possible, because of evil data caps)
