[RESOLVED] Can't get in my Windows 10....Forgot Password??

[patti686]

I have HP laptop, windows 10, I have forgot my password to windows....Can someone give me directions on how I can either find my password or how I can get in my computer to change my password... I don't have a CD, I am lost, if no one can help me, I guess I will just wipe it....I live alone, don't need a password...
Thanks for any help with getting in my laptop.... I will try anything to get in my laptop...

There are some legal ways to do it...
You can try this suggestion from Microsoft...

Sorry to hear that. It might be time to start a little black book of access codes, just in case.

Can we assume that you are NOT using a Microsoft account? If you ARE using a Microsoft user account, I would strongly recommend setting up a Local user account and using that instead, and then disabling and/or removing the Microsoft account. Otherwise, you could find yourself with the same or similar issues at a later date.
