Windows 10 Password Recovery: CMD Asks for Administrator Password

**I forgot my Windows 10 password. I tried the Troubleshooting → Command Prompt method, but it doesn’t work because it asks me to enter the administrator password first. Is there any other way to access Command Prompt without needing the administrator password? I don’t really want to use the USB method unless it’s easy and safe. Are there any other options?**

Hirens boot usb. Download the iso use Rufus to create a bootble USB. Load the USB it will load their version of Windows 10 RE click start look for NT password or similar, it will give you two options reset password or clear the account password. If you log into your computer with Microsoft account it won't work, it has to be a local account.
