Thank you for posting on the HP Support Community.
Don't worry as I'll be glad to help,
If you have created a password via Microsoft account then you can reset your password on any device connected to the Internet.
See the Microsoft password reset page to reset your password.
And, also you can perform an HP System Recovery to completely erase all files, including local account password information, and go back to the way the computer was when it was first purchased. For more information,

Hope this helps! Keep me posted for further assistance.
