HP Stream Laptop
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Hi, I got my daughter this HP Stream laptop a while back. She hasn't used it too much, but today we went to power it on and the computer keeps asking for an admin password that we don't remember setting up. We tried possible usual passwords but after failing 3 times we get a system disabled message with the code "i 52798248". We are outside of the warranty period so we cannot contact support. Any idea how to get back into my daughter's computer? Thanks in advance. And I believe Windows 10 is installed on it.
