Windows Central Question

Dell inspiron 24 model 5459 series with Windows 10. I was setting up a new computer at work, and must have "fat-fingered" the password, so I now have a day old computer that is making a very nice paperweight. I can't login. what are my options. My boss would like her computer so time is of the essence. I have no windows disk or password reset usb device.

If you mean the local admin account, this may work. Or you can start over by resetting it: Start your PC and select the Power icon in the bottom right-hand corner of the lock screen. While holding down the Shift key, select Restart. On the Boot options menu, select Troubleshoot > Reset this PC > Remove everything.
