Windows 10 change/reset password of Other User

Anonymous

I have full admin rights to my laptop and created an additional user account long time ago, now I can't remember the password of this second user account.

There is no option to reset or change the password as an admin (none that I could find).

So how can I get into that account and access my data?

Please help!
