1. Windows automatically creates as admin account with a blank password(unless changed) when windows is installed. So next time you forget your windows password, the first thing you can do is try logging to your “Administrator” account with a blank password.

Note: If you are not using the classic login window then all you have to do is press “+” keys twice in your welcome screen and the classic login window will appear.

Once you are logged in you can reset the password using Control Panel ->User Accounts.
