What does that mean?

Restart in Safe Mode, log on to Administrator and reset your password.

microsoft said start in recovery console and then type setupact.log

I would suggest you misunderstand whatever whoever said - where was this
said?

no luck
setupact.log is not a listed command.

No, it's a text file. You would read it

Ultimately you can find Linux-based password removal utilities.

No luck means I can't get the computer to start, It keeps coming back "Log
on to Windows" screen, where username is already there, but it's asking for a
password.
Even when i tried to start in safe mode, same scren comes up.
What Should i Googgle for for Linux program
