Until now, I have tried safe mode to reset my lost password, but failed again and again. When I tried to switch users it says you must login and verify your computer. Please do help me and what should I do???

Solution 1: Reset Dell password with another administrator account
Personal user accounts and passwords make it easy for multiple people to use one computer. Users can save their individual settings, Internet bookmarks and documents to make for a more personalized experience. If you created several different user accounts on your Dell account before you were locked out from your own user account, and as long as you can still access to other user account on your computer, you then can easily reset your forgotten password and get access to your own account again.

Of course, when you use other user account on your Dell laptop to reset a forgotten or lost password, this kind of user account should be with administrative privileges. If you are in this situation, then the following steps will guide you on how to reset Dell password:
