I can't login in my old gaming PC after upgrading to Windows 10. I tried the old password and the ones I used frequently. Now i am locked out of the computer. Seriously, many of the games installation files are on that so I am looking for a way to reset or remove the password if possible.
Much appreciated if you would give some suggestions on this.
Boot your computer from a WinPE or Linux-based Live CD, you can copy the game installation files out to an external USB drive. Regards to win10 password reset, please refer to this article. You can use a password reset disk, Microsoft Diagnostics and Recovery Toolset (DaRT) or PCUnlocker to unlock your computer.

I also would like to recommend another free password reset disk: ophcrack, i personally think it works better some then PCUnlocker or others.
1. Download Ophcrack LiveCD.
Search “Ophcrack” on Google and open the following page. Click “Download ophcrack Live CD” and choose “ophcrack Vista LiveCD” on next page and download it.

2. Burn ISO image file to a CD/DVD
After downloading, you could find ophcrack Vista is an ISO file. Burn the Ophcrack ISO image file to a blank disc. Burning an ISO file is different from burning a normal file. It needs a tool, such as UltraISO, to burn ISO file into CD/DVD.
3. Boot Windows 10 computer from disc you have just burned.
After burning ophcrack into disc, boot from the disc by rebooting your computer with newly created CD/DVD in the drive. Linux will load, Ophcrack will start, and password recovery begins.

I'd probably give this a crack. Not sure if it works with Windows 10.
Or, if you're signing in using a Microsoft account, you can reset it online which will be much easier.

Thanks. There is no repair feature in Windows 10 as described in the article. P.S. it is a local account and I didn't sign in with MS.
