Are you talking about formatting? Or kind of dual boot...?

 

Why don't you just put a pin as 1234 or disable the password entirely?

So my dad didn't want to have to enter passwords for the new build so, first, I removed the PIN login but I didn't really know how to go from there so I left the normal password login there. The only big problem now is that my dad does not remember the password at all! Now, I'm kind of at a roadblock. Since I can't login and do the restart and reinstall Windows thing, I need to know if it is possible to reinstall Windows 10 on a PC that already has Windows 10 installed. I have the boot USB and I need to try. So is this possible?

Yeah probably should have. It was my first time doing this Windows installation thing. But anyway, since we didn't have any programs except chrome installed, I just went into the BIOS, wiped the SSD, and did another clean install. Thanks anyway.
