I’ve lost access to login as admin. Is it possible to reset without losing files, apps and programs to regain login to windows 10?

    I saw an option to reset to Windows 8. Could that work then upgrade to 10 again?

    Hi,

    resetting without deleting programs and apps is impossible as far as I know.

    You can reset while keeping files, I'm unsure if that will recreate the user accounts though. So it may not even solve your problem.

    Sincerely,

    LightJack
