Andre75,

If you have Windows 10 installed and you forgot your Windows 10 login password you will need to contact Microsoft if the steps below do not work for you. Below are some steps to try and reset the password.

Reset your Windows 10 local account password
If you forgot your Microsoft account password, follow these steps.
If you don’t have a Microsoft account and forgot your local account password, you can’t recover it. Instead, you’ll need to reset your PC.
Warning: Following these steps will remove all of your data, programs, and settings.
Start your PC and select the Power  icon in the bottom right-hand corner of the lock screen.
While holding down the Shift key, select Restart.
On the Boot options menu, select Troubleshoot > Reset this PC > Remove everything.
Your PC will restart and will reset itself.

Access that account to reset your password.
  1. Boot your computer and press F8 repeatedly.
  2. Access Safe Mode.
  3. Key in "Administrator" in Username, with no password.
  4. Go to Control Panel, then User Accounts.
  5. Select the account you want to reset the password.
  6. Change the password.
