Method 1: Reset Microsoft Account Password Online
If you use a Microsoft Account of any form to login to the computer, you can use the Microsoft Account Password Reset page to prove your identity and reset your password. You'll need access to a phone number or alternate email address already known on your account to verify your ownership.
If you're completely locked out of your own computer, you can perform the Microsoft account password reset steps from your phone or another working computer.
Method 2: Offline Convert Microsoft Account to Local Account
If your computer is offline or you're unable to reset your password online, there is a simple way to convert your Microsoft account to local account without logging into Windows 10. Here's how:
To get started, create a PCUnlocker Live CD from another computer you still have admin access to.
Boot your Windows 10 computer from the CD. Once the PCUnlocker program loads up, select a local account linked to your Windows Live ID, and click Reset Password button.
Click Yes to confirm you want to change the Microsoft account to local account and remove the local user password. Reboot and take out the CD, you can then see the converted local account at Windows 10 logon screen, click that account and you can login without a password!
Microsoft account is a combination of email address and password which is used to access various Microsoft services such as Outlook, Skype, Word and much more. One can easily access their Microsoft account to access these services. But troubles come when users forgot their password. If you have forgotten your Microsoft account password you can simply recover your passport or change your password using the two-step verification process. Microsoft’s two-step verification process is an optional additional security level which can be activated, making it difficult for any other person to use your account without authorization.
