Good to see you in Microsoft Community.
Were you signed in with a Microsoft account or a local account? You can usually reset your account password on the login screen.
Generally, after you have entered your password incorrectly several times, a "Forgot password" pop-up will appear below the password entry box and you can click it to reset your password.
- Microsoft Account:****You can try to log in to your Microsoft account by visiting My Account (microsoft.com) in your browser on another device (another computer or on your phone). If you do forget your account password, you can click on "Forgot my password" below to reset it. After successfully resetting your password, you can try again on your PC to log in to your Microsoft account using your account password, and please connect to the Internet in the lower right corner of the login screen to ensure that the network is available*, because Microsoft account password update requires network support, and there is a certain time delay (maybe about 1 hour), so please be patient.* Reset a forgotten Microsoft account password - Microsoft Support
- Local account: You can click "Forgot Password" and reset your password, which usually requires you to answer questions that you set when you created a new account. Reset your Windows local account password - Microsoft Support
If anything is unclear, please do not hesitate to let me know.
