Windows 10: Figuring out a password

I have recently lost my husband. I found a tablet that he had. I do not know the password. I have tried just about everything. I would like to get any of our family pictures and anything else important off of it. If i could avoid factory resetting it, that would be amazing. It says to reset the password you need a usb flash drive that is setup for that sort of thing. I have tried every usb flash drive that I have come across, still no luck. Please if anyone can help me, i would be more than grateful.

Lost My Administrator Password

To which "this" are you referring?
- If you are following the tutorial Bree suggested in the very first reply to your question then what you need to do at each step is explained in detail. So which step are you at?
- If you are following a different procedure then state what it is and which step you are at. If, for example, you are trying to manually enable the Built-In Admin as suggested in post #11 then that account has no password.

Senior Moment Cannot Figure Out How To Change GMAIL Password??

Well this morning before I could go over the suggestions once again when I opened up gmail I was directed to a page that said, "Control, protect, and secure your account, all in one place." It is a page I have seen in the past and forgetful that I am I believe I have mostly ignored it or perhaps I did in fact take a look at it one time. I checked the page in another browser window just to make sure it was legit and by all accounts it was. That page then led me to another page that said, "Sign-in & security and Password & sign-in method." and from there it was very easy to change my password. Almost too easy : ) (Look now I'm complaining) Perhaps I should look further into Two Step Authentication. Does anyone know off hand if Two Step Authentication can be set up without using my linked phone number and without turning my phone on to receive a text message with an authentication code? Thanks.
