Hello lawless1, and welcome to Ten Forums. :)
Depending on if you have a local account or Microsoft account setup on the PC, you could see if you may be able to use an option in the tutorial below to reset your password.
Password of User Account - Reset in Windows 10
Otherwise, you may need to clean install Windows 10 on the PC.
Windows 10 - Clean Install
If you have no way at all to log in, you may need to enable the built-in Administrator account and use that to reset the passwords. See Option Four:

thnx for the response.. i have looked into this method but i dont have a windows 10 boot disk. believe just upgraded to windows 10. this is the trouble i keep running into. i cant find any where to download a win 10 boot usb from.
If you don't have a boot USB the Option Four I pointed you to earlier has another way to get to a command prompt. It's the 'Tip' in step 1.
If you don't have a Windows 10 installation USB or recovery drive, then you can use OPTION SIX here to boot to Advanced Startup
