Windows 10: How do I change the password or recover my account if I don't have enough information?

I didn't think this would be a big problem but when I went to reset my password, I had to enter a bunch of personal information, followed by a page asking about recent emails or purchases I made on the account. As it was basically brand new, I couldn't provide any information about this, and I kept getting told that I don't have enough information, even if I had filled everything else out. I've made a new account in the meantime and actually memorised the password this time bu

:)

How to change the login password for the account?

To assist you better, I would like to know whether you are logging into the computer with Microsoft account.

If you are using the Microsoft account to log in, I would like to inform you that it is not possible to sign into Windows without the password.

If you would like to change the password for the Microsoft Account, I suggest you to refer to the link provided below and check if that helps.
