Inheriting a password locked computer -- what to do?

A cousin passed away in July. I have inherited her Acer laptop. My problem
is that it is password-protected upon sign in.

I've seen people talking about signing in as an admin and the like, but I
can't get past the opening password screen.

Is there anything I can do to access this computer?

Thanks if you can help.
