Probably you can access the settings through the operation screen on the machine.
There you may find this reset setting.

I found a manual here:
https://www.sharp.eu/cps/rde/xbcr/documents/documents/om/34_ppc/MXB382-SC_OM_Start-Guide_GB.pdf

There in it says:
Factory default passwords
When accessing the system settings, the administrator password is required to log in with administrator rights. The system settings can be configured in the Web pages as well as on the operation panel. To access the system settings using the Web pages, a password is also required.
Factory default administrator password is “admin”
Store a new administrator password as soon as the machine is installed.
Once the administrator password has been changed, the new password is required to restore the factory default password. Take care to remember the new password.
Factory default passwords (Web pages)
There are two factory default accounts: "Administrator" and "User". A person who logs in as an "Administrator" can configure all settings in the Web pages. In addition, an administrator can restrict access to other settings by enabling "User" accounts.
Default:
users with password users
admin with password admin

If this has been changed when the machine was installed you have a challenge to find out who changed it and if this person still knows it.

If you have a separate administrators password then hit F10 on start-up to use the setup utility program.

Otherwise you will have to use the Compaq QuickRestore CD that was included with the computer to restore it to factory condition, but you will loose your data and your programs.

se your password hint as a reminder.

Have someone with an administrator account on your Surface sign in and change your password for you. (If you have an administrator account and remember the administrator password, you can do this yourself. The account created during Windows setup is an administrator account.)

If you've forgotten your local and/or administrator account password, you'll need to reset your Surface back to factory settings. To learn how to reset your Surface from the Windows sign in screen, see Restore, refresh, or reset your Surface

Are you restoring back to Factory Setting simply because you forgot the password? Please tell me NO. If so, that is not what you want to do. Resetting to Factory Settings will cause you to lose all your documents, music, pictures & videos unless you have them backed up somewhere outside of the computer. If all you need is the password removed, try turning off your machine, then turn it on and immediately hit the F8 key repeatedly until you see the SAFE MODE option. Select Safe Mode and let it boot. When the log in screen appears you will see the account for which you forgot the password and the Administrator account. Select the Administrator account (hopefully you didn't password protect it and forgot it also). If you log in successfully with the Administrator account click Start/Control Panel/User Accounts. When you are in the User Accounts select the account for which you forgot the password, then select the option to Remove Password. Now reboot your machine.

have you changed admin password recently ? if yes and if you remember the old admin password, you should go ahead and restore the laptop to it's previous point when new password was not set.


restart the notebook and keep tapping f11 key until Recovery manager window appears.

under I need help immediately, select Microsoft System Restore

click next

in Vista, you will find System Restore under Advance option.

Unfortunately I think you will need to aquire a set of restore disks and refresh the PC back to its original factory settings....

The experience that I forgot Windows password happened to me a few weeks ago. And my classmate recommends me to take use of Windows Password Recovery 6.0, which is very smart and just take me a short time to reset a new password. It is great and you can find it by clicking blue words。
