How to hack a password protected
computer account

If the user you are trying to hack is a local user (for example, a user added to the computer through a Microsoft account), you can change the password as you could in previous versions of Windows.

Make sure you have a CD or USB memory stick installed. In order to use this method, you will need a Windows 10 installation medium. If you do not have an installation CD, you can create an installation USB stick by doing the following:
