The church I go to gave me a computer and said I can have it an play with it. I seems to be the secretary's old Desktop. It is a Dell (maybe Windows 10) Desktop computer. They don't remember the password and all possible passwords they came up with were wrong. Being that I don't have any password for any account on the PC, I am having a very hard time resetting/bypassing the password. Is there any way I can bypass or reset the password? Any suggestion is helpful; best answer is the one that allows me to somehow get in.
Do note that as far as I know, any method that involves changing the boot order settings (if that is even the technical term for it) to get the PC to run a USB or CD won't work because that requires a password - a password I don't have and would like to get. Unless I misunderstood the directions. Even completely wiping it gives me troubles; I can't select any options when the "wiping wizard" (hardly not the technical term for it) runs. Thus I am coming here for you guys' wisdom and expertise on computers. Hopefully someone can help despite all of my attempts and limitations.
More Info
The account is a local account and I have nothing to reset the password or retrieve it. I have at my dispense a USB I can use for any solutions. To specify, I cannot log into the only account on the computer. Just wanted to specify.
UPDATE: By removing the PSWD jumper, restarting the PC, shutting it down and putting the jumper back in, I have removed the admin password. Now what can I do from here?
Why this is not a duplicate
As I have stated before, I am trying to log into a locked computer without using the password. I am not trying to gain admin rights of anything. Any answer in the question that needs to be longed into the PC to work won't work for me.
