2. tried 100 variations of my password (written them down too..)
3. cant reset password key as you need one before hand, which I do not.

    Hi FORTHELOVEOFGAWD

    You can reset your password from another computer if you sign into Windows using your email address. If your Windows login is not your email address, you can use the instructions below to reset your password.

    1. From the login screen, click the power icon in the lower right corner of the screen.
    2. Hold the Shift key while you click Restart.
    3. Click Troubleshoot.
    4. Select Reset Your PC.
    5. Click Remove everything.
    6. After your computer reboots, click Just remove my files.
    7. Click Reset.

    Note: This process will erase all data on your system. Make sure your system is plugged in and does not power off during the reset.

    I unfortunately do not log in with my email so the first option will not work. The second option will delete everything, correct? I have a lot of college work on here that I am trying to not lose. That is my issue.

    Hi!
    You won't lose your data anyway and also there is no need to remove your hard-disk too. Make sure you follow all the instructions under Resetting a local account password.
    Note: 
    You need a recovery media. The inbuilt recovery options of windows always ask for User Password

    After many hours (3 days.) of trying passwords I randomly found it, but am having a weird issue once I get in. My wifi is no longer here (icon is gone...) and it seems too be stuck in airplane mode. I've already tried to toggle it but its completely greyed out.
