Help w/ recovering a Win 10 password
About a year ago I bought a gaming computer to use with a flight simulator. It came with Win 10. Haven't used the thing for a while, so I forgot the password. And for some stupid reason I didn't write it down like I did with all the others.
So far, almost an hour later later, I've tried every password I could think of (I have a system for creating them). No dice. The computer let me get to my security questions once, but apparently I got one wrong, and it's not letting me answer them again, i.e., not showing them again.
Looked online and it said you could recover the password by creating a Microsoft account. So I went there and clicked on "create account," and a message came up saying the link was not safe. WTF???? It also said you could type "i forgot my password" in the password window. No dice. Another answer was to hit the Windows key and type something to get a menu. No dice.
This is driving me nuts. 
Is there a way to get to those $^%#&*^#$%@ security questions?
