How to remove or update the Windows 10 startup password

The password in Windows 10 is one of the basic security methods to access the system and everything that is hosted on it, applications, user files and more, and as we well know and TechnoWikis has explained it to you many times, it should be taken into account. Consider using strong passwords to prevent other unauthorized users from gaining access to your computer. But for numerous reasons it is possible that we forget the password and logically without it it will be difficult for us to access Windows 10 and work correctly, to prevent this we have a simple method that we will explain in this tutorial but for this it will be necessary to have a boot medium of Windows and the first thing will be to download the Windows 10 media creation tool..

 

There we can use the tool and directly create the bootable USB or download the ISO image and then burn it to a DVD or bootable media, let's see how to remove or set the user password in Windows 10 since many times we need to recover forgotten Windows password 10 and we can't access our system.
