Windows 10

I have Windows 10 Home edition. I forgot my password, for some ungodly reason, but I use a PIN to sign in so I can't remember what it was when I made it.

 

Is there some round-about way that I can change the password from my signed in account(it is an administrator account) without going through the regular "insert your current then your new"?

Requesting PW reset from Windows Live works too. But you need to have set alternative email for it. Doesn't need original PW (I've done this couple times).

Is your admin account enabled on the login screen?
