Answer 1

This solution works if you have an admin account, or you can borrow the rights(not sure about the later):

• Log in to your pc
• Open a command prompt window with admin privileges (how to open cmd with admin rights)
• Type net user
• Look for your user account (or the account whose password you have to change)
• Type net user {username}, replace username with the account user name. eg. net user john
• Typenet user {username} *, for example net user john *
• Type in the new password, press enter
• Retype it and hit enter

Read it from Microsoft. A little bit more information.

Answer 2

One time when the Fingerprint works to log in navigate back to the user info and change password.

Once you are logged in you need not remember the pass to reset it (unless 8.1 / 10 changed that)
