I'm going to suggest the easiest way is to purchase Konboot which is only $15.00.

Yes it can be done other ways but if you're not comfortable with burning discs/usb then I would recommend this for you.

We can only assume that you are talking about a local account. Is this correct or have you created a MS account.
If this is the case then you can reset it online.

Thanks to all for the replies.

Jessica, I used your instructions. I was able to change the Administrator password, but not mine (I set it up with a Microsoft Account)..(dumb me). I wish I could say I like Windows 8.1, but I dont.
I tried to look at the passwords through regedit...it was how I found out I used a microsoft account.
Thanks so much for your very easy instructions.

Please can you add the source of your blatant copy and paste as it's only fair to the original writer!!
