Login Password Reset

I'm trying to either change or eliminate my login password. I've tried using the command, netplwiz, but I need the original password in order to use it, which I kno longer know.

Can anyone recommend a password retrieval tool that they've used in the past and trust? Thanks.

Toshiba laptop, Windows 10 Home, anniv.update.

    No need to spend a buck! You can break into your Windows account using the sticky keys backdoor:

    If you don't have Windows install disk, just download the ISO from Microsoft:

    then burn the ISO to CD.
