Go into the system via safe mode (F8) on startup and select 'Safe Mode'. When in the system go to your account and delete it and enter a new one. Restart pc.

    If you don't want to do that then go to this site and download the SIW free programme.

    Takes secondes to install, then look down left side for secrets, click it and all passwords should show up.

    There's no spyware or malware in it, so don't worry about loading it.
