@Jarodc,Welcome to HP Support Community,

Thank you for posting your query; I’m here to help by guiding you through steps to resolve this issue

Use a Password Reset Disk: If you previously created a password reset disk, you can use it to reset your password.

Try Safe Mode: Boot your HP Stream into Safe Mode. Sometimes, this can allow you to access recovery options by using an administrator account without a password.

HP Recovery Manager: If you are unable to access your account, consider using the HP Recovery Manager available in the boot menu to perform a system restore (note that this may lead to data loss).

Microsoft Account Recovery: If you've used a Microsoft account to log in, you can try resetting your password through the Microsoft account recovery website on another device.
