The structure of the SAM database hasn't changed in Windows 10, so if you're using a local account the NT offline tool works fine. Hiren live boot also comes with a GUI based tool that works called Lazesoft Recovery Suite. If you're using a pin or MS account they are not stored the same and the tools won't work.
