t Administrator password. I have been confused about what that password is ever since I got this windows computer. I managed to get by without it until Windows 10 did an upgrade which demolished many of my programs – they simply disappeared. In and attempt to fix the problem of the lost programs, I was told I had to enter my administrator pw…. I have tried every pw I could think of to no avail. What can I do to overcome this problem? Your help will be greatly appreciated.

There are a few options available to you:
1. Use an elevated Command Prompt. If you are logged in to Windows by using a PIN, there is a high chance you will be able to open Administrator Command Prompt. For that, type in "cmd" into the search box. Then, right-click on the search results and pick Run as administrator. Once the new window opens, type in the following command "net user" (without quotes), followed by your current username and the new password. Then, hit Enter. Your password should be reset.
2. If that did not work, you could use Windows Live password reset page here: https://account.live.com/password/reset. You should enter either your email, phone or Skype name to retrieve your password.
Good luck,
