Hi. I would advise you to;
1. Create a full backup image copy of your ssd to another device.
2. Boot from other media and run Truecrypt or Veracypt and permanently decrypt the backup using your known Truecrypt password.
3. Run whatever tools required to extract data or remove the Windows password or create a new user etc.

Just make sure you do this on your backup first! As long as it goes well you might then be able to do the same on your laptop.
