Windows 10: Forgetting the password to my admin account while being on BSOD

When I got home from school today and tried booting my computer, I was hit with a BSOD and required the admin account's password which I had forgotten. So now I'm stuck at the BSOD. PS. I've also deleted my win32? yesterday which i can tell is the main cause of the BSOD. The link to the tutorial I watched is here:

You can reset the Admin Password using Windows XP repair; See Here for step by step.

Forget hidden Administrator Account Password-Windows 10

Thank you for providing the details. You can change the password of the hidden admin account by following the steps below.

• Press Windows key and type "cmd".
• Right-click Command Prompt and select Run as administrator.
• Type this command: net user "UserName" "NewPassword".
  
  Type "administrator" in the "Username" and type the password that you want in the
  "NewPassword".
• Retype the password that you've created and close the Command Prompt.

These steps are intended for local accounts. And since the hidden admin account is considered a local account, you can apply these steps.

Let us know how that turned out for you.

 

Forgotten admin password.

Sorry but "Admin account" might be a description. Is your answer to 1 that you are signed in to the built-in account with the username Administrator or do you just mean that you are signed in to an account that has admin status [an account that you have made at some stage]?

The account to select in the list is the one that you want to reset the password to. If that is the one you are signed in to then you'll get that To change your password press Alt+Ctrl+Delete message instead [and the existing password is needed in order to do any change].

You need to be signed in to a different admin user account in order to reset the existing one's password. By the way, you will lose all your saved internet sign-in credentials by resetting it.
- You could create a new password-protected, admin-level local user account {steps given in a separate post below} then sign in to it so you could then use netplwiz to reset the original one.
