  1. stuck in safe mode loop without network, password not recognized


    hi!


    stuck in a safe mode loop.

    My password is not recognized (seems that i need to input the 5 year old one i once used that i dont know anymore)


    Can not use the bcdedit method to fix the constant starting into safe mode, as it gives errors.


    Recovering / resetting windows 10 but keeping my files also doesnt work becasue every option asks for my password.


    Is there any way to force network on safe mode?

    (booting in safe mode with networking doesnt work)


    Literally every option (even the ones with a recovery disk) asks for a password i no longer use, and have reset months ago when it also prompted me to make a pin (same password as i used to login to these forums).


    Its clear its asking for my original local password which seems like a huge bug


    thanks in advance

    :)

  2. I'm stuck in safe mode with networking hell with admin. password not accepted

    I went into safe mode to reset my antivirus, Bitfender. Once there, I can't get out of safe mode since this requires an administrative password which windows now doesn't recognize. For whatever stupid reason Windows devised, your administrative password
    does not work while in safe mode! I've used my PIN and my Microsoft password and neither work. I don't have a start up disc for windows 10 to use to restart my pc without it automatically going into safe mode because I bought this computer with Windows 10
    on it. This seems to be the only way out of this loop from what I've read online. Every suggestion or help online suggests using a cmd like misconfig which requires an administrative password which safe mode won't recognize or going into boot options which
    requires an admin. password, and since safe mode doesn't accept or recognize my password, I'm stuck in a never ending loop of restarting or shutting down my pc with it going straight back into safe mode on restart. Have I just lost the use of this computer
    in an administrative capacity? I can still use it under a secondary user account which doesn't have access to administrative privileges but this restricts my full use of this pc because it is forever stuck in safe mode without a way out! PLEASE HELP!
