So i have this drive that has an install of windows 10 from 2016. Im trying to get around the passwords. I know about the utilman work around, but that requires recovery mode or safe mode. Whatever it may be, i can't get into it. There isnt a power menu button anywhere.

I think I could boot ubuntu to access the files, because that's ultimately what I'm trying to do. But, my ubuntu USB is busted and I dont have a chance to make a new one for a while. Would it be even worth it to side boot? Would the files are encrypted? Id not, ill just side boot Linux when I can. I am out of ideas.

If I can use the utilman exploit, I would prefer that, but if anyone has any other ideas, I'd really appreciate the help.
