There are several free options available to reset a forgotten password. You can try password recovery services or built-in system tools depending on your device and operating system.

It would have been wise for your grandfather to save his password somewhere or set a reminder. Unless there are additional accounts like an admin login, you can access that account and restore his user profile. If not, consider backing up vital files on a live Linux system before reinstalling Windows and transferring the data later.

I'm just considering using a command-line trick or OPHCRACKER. This is my first time hearing about formatting for password resets.

That means you addressed your own query directly.
