Go look on YouTube and search “forgot windows password”. Many videos on it, just don’t know if any works. I’m not on windows so I’ve never tried. Good luck.

If you want the documents pull the drive, connect to another computer, take ownership, pull out documents.
BUT do this as a last step as you'd have to reformat and reinstall os after (unless it's changed)

Microsoft now recommends a 4 number pin instead of a password. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/win...-than-password

ophcrack is freeware. I've had great success with Windows 7, but I am not sure if it supports Windows 10. Google suggests it does, but I didn't dig any deeper
