How to find password of my Windows account?

I've recently tried to create a new account on my laptop, however, I can't do it until I will type in my password for old one. Problem is, I haven't used this old account for a while, so I forgot password for it. I don't use password to login, I'm always automatically logged in without typing it. I'm in a bit of situation here - I need password to proceed with operation, but I don't remember it. Is there any way I can find my password on my computer or any way I can bypass this? Thank you very much for answer!

Hi JaromirT -

I'm Kevin B. Independent Advisor and a Windows user like you. I do apologize for the inconvenience that you're experiencing right now, let me help you sort things out.

You'll need to have or provide the password of your old account to make changes on the computer. I believe the password needed is an administrator password to make or grant the changes that you're making on the computer.

Is the old account uses Local account or Microsoft account?

If it is a Local account, kindly click on the link below and follow the steps to Reset your Windows 10 local account password
