If you've forgotten the password to a computer that runs Windows 10, or you simply want to change your password, one of the easiest solutions is to change your password directly from your Windows 10 lock screen.
1-Make sure to select the account for which you want to change the password. By default, Windows 10 will display the user that logged onto the device last. If your computer features multiple accounts, other accounts will be displayed on the left side of the sign-in screen. If the user displayed isn’t your account, select your account from the list on the left. In the image above, the selected user account is Shey Naik.
2-Click on the Internet icon on the account sign-in screen. Changing your Windows 10 lock screen password will require you to access the Microsoft Outlook login page, which requires an internet connection.
3-Turn on Wi-Fi. In the bottom-right corner of the Internet pop-up menu, click the Wi-Fi icon in order to turn on your device’s Wi-Fi, and if the Airplane Mode icon is highlighted and says “On” underneath it, click it to turn Airplane Mode off. This will allow you to see a list of Wi-Fi networks that are within the range of your device. A Wi-Fi network is a wireless network that allows your device to connect to the Internet.
4-Select a Wi-Fi network from the list which you recognize. This Wi-Fi network is likely the one that people in the same household use to connect to the internet, and one that you know the network security key for (if there is one). Click on the name of the Wi-Fi network and hit connect.
5-Enter your network’s security key, if requested. This key is an alphanumeric password (a password containing numbers and letters) required to access the Internet through this network.
6-Click on “Sign-In Options” at the center of the screen to pick how you want to sign in. This will present you with a list of icons, all of which represent the various available methods to sign into your account.
7-Select either the PIN or the password icon. If you sign in with a PIN and would like to change this PIN, select the icon with a keypad. If you sign in with your Microsoft account password and would like to change this password, select the icon with a textbox and cursor. (Note: Changing your Microsoft account password will change not only your sign-in password to this Windows device, but the password you use to log into the Microsoft account itself!)
8-Click “Forgot My Password” or "Forgot My PIN". This will pull up a new window. If you are changing your PIN, you will first be asked to sign into your Microsoft account. If you are changing your password, you will be taken directly to the Microsoft account verification page.
9-Verify your Microsoft account using a security code. Depending on your Microsoft account security settings, you will be asked to confirm either a phone number or an email linked to your account, and a security code will then be sent to this number or email if the confirmation is correct. The window will then ask for the code that was just sent to your number or email.
10-Enter a new password/PIN that you will remember. Write it down somewhere in case you forget. Remember that if you entered a new Microsoft account password, that password applies not only when you are signing onto this device, but when you are signing into your Microsoft account in general (say when you’re checking your Outlook email, for example).
