Trouble signing into Windows 10 - Forgot password
I am having trouble signing into Windows 10. A few days ago I noticed the system was running slow so I did a reset of Windows 10. When everything was ready to setup again, I set up my user account with my usual password, however, when asked if I wanted to link to my Microsoft Account, I said "do it later". I cannot reset password from Microsoft account because it is not linked. When trying to sign in from the Welcome page, I type in every variation of my password to no avail. I have tried rebooting in safe mode but Windows 10 will not allow unless you type in your password. I have even tried doing a reset from account settings (ESC when restarting) and it STILL asked me for my password. I am frustrated and now I feel like my computer is a thousand dollar paperweight. Any help would be appreciated!
