Sorry this didn't help. Thanks for your feedback. Microsoft doesn't make it easy to reset your password, but you have some options. In this tutorial we'll show you 6 simple ways to reset forgotten Windows 10 password for administrator and Microsoft account. Rest assured, at least one way will help you out. Using a password reset disk is Microsoft's official method to reset a lost Windows password.
The only downside of this method is that you need to create a Windows 10 password reset disk before your password is lost. If you have created a password reset disk, you can easily set a new password for signing in to your Windows 10 computer. If you can still log into Windows 10 with PIN, picture password or another administrator account, there is a good chance you can open an elevated Command Prompt and reset Windows 10 password easily.
To reset your forgotten password, type the following command and press Enter. Since Windows 8, most people are now using a Microsoft account for logging into Windows. When you forgot your Microsoft account password, just use another computer to visit the Windows Live password reset page on the Microsoft website, and you can reset the password online.
It's relatively easier than resetting local account password. This method requires you to have access to the alternate email account or phone number you provided when signing up the Microsoft account. If you don't have access to those anymore, Microsoft will be unable to verify your identity. In that case, you can convert Windows 10 Microsoft account to a local account from a boot media, so you can log back into Windows 10 without losing files.
Unfortunately, DaRT is not free.
