Hi!
I have a Windows 10 system for which i do not have the admin password, i can only login with a guest user account. The idea is to elevate this guest users account to admin status or reset the admin password so i can have full access. Do you know what’s the best method ?

I found a video online that explains how to reset the admins passwords using windows CMD.exe, but it requires a Windows 10 flash drive image to work which i do not possess. if you say that this is a must please tell me where to download it.

The system’s W10 OS version is 1809

I appreciate your help.

Google is your friend for the more obvious bit of this thread, but for security reasons, we are closing it up.
