Unfortunately, it is not possible to wipe a computer without an administrator password on Windows 10. However, there are a few steps you can take to try and reset the administrator password:
1. Reboot your computer and press F8 or F10 during the startup process. You may need to press these keys repeatedly until you see the Advanced Boot Options menu appear on screen.
2. Select "Repair Your Computer" from the list of options that appears in the Advanced Boot Options menu. This will take you into the System Recovery Options window.
3. Select "System Restore" from the list of options in the System Recovery Options window and follow any prompts that appear on screen until you reach a point where you can enter a new password for your account.
4. Enter your new administrator password twice when prompted by Windows and confirm any additional changes that may be necessary for completing this process (e.g., restarting your computer).
If none of these steps work, then it is likely that your only option would be to reinstall Windows 10 completely which would require either another administrator account with access to download/install software or physical access to media such as DVD or USB drive containing installation files for Windows 10 operating system (if available).
