The password is used to protect important data and information saved on computer. But, if you have forgotten your Windows Password, then, your all-important data will get locked. I change the password every week for security purpose. And, last week I forgot my Windows 10 password. There are some important data in my computer, so reinstalling Windows wasn't the solution. Is there any way to get the password removed?

Method 1: Reset Microsoft Account Password (Not Local Account)

Only a few people know that, In Windows 8.1/10, Microsoft added online authentication. Means, to login into Windows, you need to sign in using Microsoft account details. Though, local account option also available. And, if you forgot your Microsoft account password. Then, you can reset the password and can log in to Windows.

Click on "I forgot my password" option, that appears on the login screen. Or, you can visit this Microsoft Account Password reset link. And, then follow instruction displayed on the screen. After success reset, you can use the new password for login.

IMPORTANT - Microsoft sends a security code on connected Mobile Number. Or, on the connected email account. And, if you don't have access to that mobile number or email account. Then, this method will not work for you.
