    Password from windows 7 doesn't work on 10


    I have a password that contained ctrl+backspace in the series, but when I upgraded from windows 7 to 10 that character was no longer supported. I can not log in or change my password now.

    Any idea how to either revert back to 7 to change it, or change it on 10 without putting in my current password? I have information on there that I don't want to lose by resetting to factory settings either.
