    If you could just bypass the password, it wouldn't be very secure, would it?

    You will probably have to re-install and create a new administrator account.

    No, it wouldn't. Apparently the way to do it is to enable the built-in Administrator account - which AFAIK doesn't have a password (doesn't need one if you can't log into it).

    OPTION FOUR

    Enable or Disable Built-in Administrator in Command Prompt at Boot
    NOTE: This option is good for when you are unable to sign in to Windows 10.
