    Windows 10 password missing never assigned


    I upgraded from Windows 7 Home to Windows 10 Home about 1 month ago. No passwords or administrator account were set up.
    The laptop is now asking for a password or a pin number when I turn the computer on.
    It is also giving me a password hint which was never set up.

    Tried to do a system restore from the partition on the hard drive, but it is asking me for a password also.

    How can I resolve this without reloading the entire OS?

    Thanks

    I loaded the system recovery disk from another computer. I was able to start the system. I went to the restore points and uninstalled the top one. I rebooted the system and it did not ask for a password. I put the password in when the system starts.
    I reinstalled the updates that were removed and the system works with no problem.
    Problem solved.

My normal account has been set to a standard account, and now the only Admin account is ASP.NET machine account. I can change practically nothing without ASP.NET asking me for an Administrator password I don't know. How can I fix this?
