I forgot my password and I couldn't find any other way to get into my pc without it so I went to use the recovery media cause I wanted to reset my pc anyways so I used it and now it says the recovery attempt has failed. Select one of the following buttons. The buttons are save log, details, and retry. Every time I retry it just restarts my pc and brings me to the same place. Any help would be much appreciated.

Hi:

 

If the recovery system didn't work, I would clean install W10.

 

 Clean install W10 by making a bootable W10 installation flash drive using the media creation tool at the link below.

After W10 has completed installing, you can install the drivers and available software from your PC's support page.
