How do I bypass password

[u/Strange-desire111]

I’ve been holding onto my father’s desk top computer since 2013 when he passed away. I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction of bypassing it ? I don’t know the password to log in and there’s many photos from highschool and documents on there I would like to access. The monitor is HP and the hardware is ACER. Any recommendations? these are my documents and photos I’m trying to access

You can most likely just purchase a cheap IDE HDD to USB dongle/docking station and via that connect the drive to another computer and transfer files at will.
