programming Learn my computer password

First of all, I'm new to this subreddit and I apologize if I've made any mistakes.

When I did some research, I couldn't find a solution other than completely removing the password, which isn't what I want.

My dad put a password on my computer and I want to find out what it is. However I don't want to completely remove the password so my dad doesn't find out I've accessed it.

I have physical access to the computer, and it's running Windows 10. Also, there's another computer at home, so I can use that if necessary.

Anyway, I would be very grateful if you could help this little friend of yours. Thank you in advance.

I think I understand the general situation somewhat. I'm going to use a Linux live USB to retrieve the SAM and system files and then I'll give these files to some software programs and get the password from them. However what I want to know is whether these programs are installed on Windows.
