Forgot My Administrator Password, What Should I Do?
I'm having trouble accessing my personal computer since I lost the administrator password for Windows 10. I've tried many different password combinations, but none seem to work. I need to know my administrator password to install and update software and access other files and documents on my computer.

According to your description, you have forgotten your Windows Administrator password, which makes your computer inaccessible. Luckily, EaseUS WinRescure has a password reset feature that will help you. This tool can create a password reset media to unlock the computer and remove the Windows Administrator screen.
Prepare a healthy computer and an empty bootable media(USB, DVD, CD). Install EaseUS WinRescuer on the unlocked computer and follow the instructions below:
Step 1: Attach the external or USB drive to a functional computer. Then, launch EaseUS WinRescuer and select "Create Bootable Media."
Step 2: Select the EaseUS Boot Toolkits and additional required components. Then, select "Next."
Step 3: Choose your portable device and press "Go" to create an image on your external or USB disk.
Step 4: You will be warned that data will be erased before creating the bootable DVD. Press "OK" to verify.
Step 5: Restart the problematic computer by connecting the bootable drive and pressing and holding "F2" or "Del" to access the BIOS. Next, designate the boot disk as the WinPE bootable device and hit "F10" to end the process.
Step 6: The PC will then boot into the WinPE desktop. Locate and start Password Reset.
Step 7: Choose the Windows account you wish to reset and your Windows version.
Step 8: Click "Confirm" to proceed with changing your Windows password when prompted.
Step 9: After much patience, you should see a notification stating that the password has been successfully altered. To finish the password reset procedure, click "OK".
