If you forgot your Windows 10 password, the easiest way to get back into your account is to reset the password for your Microsoft account. <br />

In safe mode, the account &quot;administrator&quot; gets activated automatically and can be used without a password by default.
</div>


<div>
Booted to safe mode but it only goes to the user. I can’t switch
</div>


<div>
It seems, not always.at tines, it prompts to select the user, and recent attempts, administrator was not an option.<br />
<br />
Using the recovery option outlined, then booting back into safe mode should allow you to change the password. Boot to revert files and then boot normally. All in all it takes above 15 minutes from start to end to regain access.
