There are many ways to reset the administrator password, depending on whether you’re using a local or a Microsoft account. Regardless of the reason, changing passwords is an arduous process as you may have to prove your identity through some authentication means before you can reset it.

But what happens when the Windows 10 administrator password has to be reset? That’s what we’ll talk about in this article. In an office setting, much of this authentication and resetting is handled by IT administrators. This study shows that it is fairly common to forget and reset passwords, though we may hate to accept it. A report by Hypr shows 78 percent of respondents said that they had to reset the passwords of at least one personal account in the last 90 days, and 57 percent had reset the password of their work account in the same period.

Unfortunately, most of us forget passwords way more often than we’d like. Much of our digital life today revolves around passwords, and they are often the primary, if not the only, way to authenticate a person’s credentials.
