Windows 10: Accidentally ended all Microsoft Processes, cant login anymore

So I wanted to end any unnecessary processes so as to lessen my memory usage %. I watched this https://youtu.be/Uusm3HGSo60 video and i think i accidentally ended all microsoft processes like it says not to...


i was prompted to restart and upon doing so, i was no longer able to login. I am 100% sure beyond any doubt that i am typing in my correct password. But prior to this, i only needed to type in a pin to login. Cant login using pin or password. Im being asked to type in my outlook password and it still says its incorrect.


ive done research, ive tried holding **** and restart to bring up the system repair or restore options and every single option on that list, even reinstall windows, still prompts me to enter my password and is still registering it as wrong.

bottom right of my screen to the left of ease of access shows a monitor with a red x on it and clicking on it shows airplane mode icon only and no wifi icon.


its been a few hours watching videos to try and solve this and nothing works. I am unable to download any software on to a usb or cd.

Please help.

Microsoft Login

Hi Gourmage,

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.

I suggest you to perform Safe Mode with Networking and then try to change the password.

Method 1: Safe mode.

Please follow below steps:

• • 
    Click on power button at left bottom corner, press and hold
    Shift key and click on Restart.
    
  • 
    Click on Troubleshoot.
    
  • 
    Click on Advanced options.
    
  • 
    Click on Startup Settings.
    
  • 
    Click on Restart.
    
  • 
    Login to Microsoft Account and create a new administrator account.
    

If you’re not able to login using Microsoft account then refer to below steps and check if it helps.

Method 2:
Activate Inbuilt Administrator Account.

Follow the below steps:

• • 
    Click on power button at left bottom corner, press and hold
    Shift key and click on Restart.
    
  • 
    Click on Troubleshoot.
    
  • 
    Click on Advanced options.
    
  • 
    Click on Command Prompt and enter following command.
    
    net user Administrator /active:yes
    

Now reboot your system and login to inbuilt admin account and try to reset password for other account. Once you reset password login to other account and to deactivate inbuilt admin account enter following command in elevated command prompt.

net user Administrator /active:no
