When you lost the local admin password, just boot off with Windows installation media and you remove it with this backdoor: Reset Lost Windows 10 Password with Sticky Keys Method | Password Recovery If you use a Microsoft account to sign into Windows 10 and forgot the password, you can reset it from another device with internet connection: Recover a Microsoft account password In case none of the above methods can help you out, reinstallatiion is the last resort to restore access.
