Is your laptop's OS Windows 10? ... if so I think you use your Microsoft account password.
You could open your MS email account on a mobile or other pc and change your password. |

Hi, I found these instructions online for XP - which was posted on 29 Jan 2019:
Also found this info on the net - I believe I used this hack many years ago to get into my XP pc) In every installation of Windows XP, there is a built-in and default account named Administrator, which is equivalent to super user or root in Unix/Linux system. By default, the default Administrator account has no password Press Ctrl + Alt + Delete twice to load the user login panel. Press OK to attempt to log in without a username or password. If that doesn't work, try typing Administrator into the Username field and pressing OK. If you're able to log in, head straight to Control Panel > User Account > Change Account. Vista is a different Operating System but it's worth trying with the above hack. Edited at 10:40 PM. |

Actually, it may be worth just booting the laptop up and when the username and password box comes up type in Administrator without a password, click OK and see what happens.
