  2. Password not accepted in Safe mode

    Hi,

    Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Community forum.

    Have you tried all the above steps suggested by Sangeeta Sarkar on September 13, 2015.

    I would suggest you to provide some information to help you better.

    • Are you trying to login the Microsoft account or the Local account in safe mode?
    • Did you try with only safe mode or safe mode with networking?
    • What is the critical error you are getting?

    If you are using Windows 10. To go to safe mode you have to follow the below steps.

    If you are able to go to login screen in normal mode try the below steps to go to safe mode with networking.


    • At the login screen click on the power symbol.

    • Hold SHIFT + Click Restart.

    • After restarting your system, select the Troubleshoot option.

    • Select advanced options under
      Troubleshoot screen.

    • Click on Startup Settings.

    • Click Restart and follow the onscreen steps to go to
      Safe Mode with networking and check if you are able to login.

    [*]
    Please get back with more information, we will be glad to help you further.

    Cannot exit safe mode. Password is no longer recognized

    Windows 10 stuck in Safe mode, Can't login with my correct password


    I have the exact same problem to this disgraceful windows problem that does not allow me to exit safe mode.

    I have tried option four as it was suggested but it says that the SAM file is being used by another application!!

    I also made a restore point in case I had any trouble on safe mode, but safe mode doesn't allow me to use it because there is antivirus running!!!! How on earth can I shutdown my antivirus if I can't pass the safe mode where my password is not recognized??

    What a nightmare. Please help with this Microsoft atrocity that locks me out of my computer.
