It’s easy enough to back up our personal data, so I have considered a factory reset, but I am certain it is going to ask for an admin password. I’ve also tried some processes mentioned online, with no success. I’ve tried all of the obvious variations, which followed a pattern I used for my old iMac. Now I have simply forgotten the password. As recommended by many sources, I created separate user accounts for my wife and myself, and I have not needed to log in as admin for a while.
I have an HP laptop running Microsoft Windows 8.
