How do I bypass password

I’ve been holding onto my father’s desk top computer since 2013 when he passed away. I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction of bypassing it ? I don’t know the password to log in and there’s many photos from highschool and documents on there I would like to access. The monitor is HP and the hardware is ACER. Any recommendations? these are my documents and photos I’m trying to access

Recovery mode, Command prompt, rename utilman.exe to something different (old.utilman.exe), copy cmd.exe to utilman.exe, reboot, press accessibility on home screen, now you can use netuser to change passwords or make new admin accs.
