Locked out of my PC—forgot my password!

Hey everyone,
So, I got this new PC and I haven't touched it in like a month, and now I'm totally locked out because I forgot my password. I was checking some stuff on YouTube, and it seems like most people say you should just jump into Safe Mode and use CMD, or maybe grab a Windows installation disc.
The thing is, I found a workaround code, but even Safe Mode is asking me for a password. 😢
And when I tried to just reinstall Windows, it wouldn't even let me in.
I guess if anyone could help me out, that would be awesome.

Thanks!

This is probably one of the most straightforward ways to handle it.
Just download UBCD (it's free) onto a disc, boot from it, and follow the instructions. 🙂
