  1. Unable to enter computer


    Hi, I just entered my computer and it appears that the password has been changed or something. Apparently someone fooled around with a

    net user username /random command that turned the password into something totally random. I've tried going into the troubleshoot options by pressing Shift+Restart but it appears that all those options to troubleshoot need the password. Even removing all the files and resetting Windows 10 needs the password. Can somebody please help me?


    Thanks,

    Nathaniel

  2. Unable to boot the computer.

    Hi Samid,

    Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Community.

    Before we proceed, we would require more information to assist you further.


    • What is the make and model of your computer?

    I suggest you check if you are able to boot into Windows Recovery Environment using installation media. Follow the steps provided below and check.

      • Insert the installation USB and boot Windows 10 from it.
      • In the ‘Windows setup’ page select the ‘language to install’, ‘Time and currency format’ and the ‘keyboard or input method’ and click on ‘next’.
      • Click on ‘Repair your computer’ and select ‘Troubleshoot’.
    Check if you are able to boot to this window. If you are unable to boot to this window, I suggest you to contact the manufacturer and check.

    Hope this information is helpful. Reply us with this information to assist you further.

    Thank you.
