Hello, sorry to hear that. It’s not too difficult to reset or bypass the password. There are several great options on this page: https://www.quora.com/I-forgot-my-Windows-10-admin-password-How-can-I-recover-it and Microsoft has an easy solution they published here: https://support.microsoft.com/en-ie/help/4028457/windows-10-reset-your-local-account-password

You may also try this out if you can access the account:

  1. Right-click the Start Menu and go to Computer Management > Users > Local Users and Groups.
  2. Right-click the Administrator account and select Set Password.

If this does not work for you, visit the links I shared. They have a lot of options that you will find helpful.
