Forgot UAC password need help!

Hello my father owned the laptop and he forgot the administrator password for it, now I cant install or mostly do any operations on it considering I only have standard user privelages and not admin. My laptop is running on a windows 10, and the administrator account was made locally, no linked microsoft account to it.

 

Is there any utility to bypass this?

    Is there any other administrator account in the PC?
    If password recovery question has been setup, then you may recover the account.
    Have a look at:

      Sorry but no, there is no other admin account other than my father's, there's also no recovery question.
