Windows 8 Can Win 8 be reset free of old logons and passwords?

[Angler4]

I recently received a donation at our non-profit from a school of some 13 in. HP Streams with Win 8. When I go to install Win 10 on them from a USB, I am asked for a login and password, which I don't have. Is there any way to reset Win 8 so that it is free of logons and passwords?

Yes with a tool like Hiren boot disc you can blank out the account password

Maybe you have fixed it! But it asks for name and password.

and the HP Stream 13 has no DVD player. Tho where I volunteer there is a player that can be hooked up thru usbs. I don't presently have the Srteam 13 or the Player at home. What is the name of the App? I have Hirens 10.1

Hiren can boot off a usb and the tool is nt offline password changer

I will try it. Thanks

Turns out I was using a Rufus USB set for MBR not GPT for a Win 10 install. After I made the switch to GPT it installed fine, tho it overwrote the software that accompanied the Win 8. So you got me thinking.
