    Computer keeps restarting after windows update

    OK so here is my problem, I accidentally turned off my pc during a windows update. I taught it was not a big problem until it started restarting but still I just said I’m gonna do a restore and then is done. But here comes another problem I don’t know or have the system administrator password so I can’t do anything not even enter cmd. I tried some obvious password but nothing worked. I am not home right now I am coming back in a few days there 2 things that I thought of one is to leave the password blank and try, or install windows 10 on a USB drive and put in my pc and install it. If u think any of this will work please tell me or if u have an another idea thats great. Thank you so much for the help.

      Are you referring to your account password or the BIOS password?
      If account password then do you use a local or Microsoft account?
      If BIOS/Pre-boot password then usually you would need to contact the pc manufacturer for help as often this is not able to be bypassed but there is something which may help. I’ll post instructions should this be needed.

        I don’t even know I just tried to do a restore but I just need a password for the user acc but is not connected to any Microsoft account. Idk if what I said is understandable. But thank you anyways for the help

          Where are you seeing the password box - before, at login or after? It sounds like it might be a local account.

            When I didn’t have this problem I didn’t need any password to go into my pc plus I never need to do a restore on this pc but now when go to do a restore or anything that is in advanced settings I need a password. Idk if that helps.

              Someone may have bypassed the login screen but the restore has returned it.
              Can you provide a screenshot?

                    Basically I don’t need a password for user acc when I am entering my pc but I need to do anything in advanced settings, like a restore or enter cmd etc.

                        It may be that you’re logged in with a user account rather than an admin account.
