  1. Cannot exit safemode and forgot password


    Hello,

    So I went in for msconfid setting and upon restart it has gone into safe mode and I dont remember the password. I tried shift+restart and opted for safe mode with networking or safe mode with command prompt but nothing seemed to work

    Everything I do seems to require a password.please help asap

    :)

    Windows 10 Password problem in safemode

    Hi,

    For us to isolate the issue, we will need to ask you a few questions:

    • Are you getting any error messages aside from password incorrect?
    • What troubleshooting steps have you done so far, after being stuck in safemode sign in screen?
    • What are you trying to do when you enter safemode with networking through msconfig?

    Regards.

    Forgot password....

    No can't be changed, unless you can access the admin account in safemode.

    you can also try ERD commander.

    but that is in the case if the password is for OS

    if its a bios password you would have to try to reset the bios by using a jumper.
    Or getting a master password from the manufacturer

    Cannot exit safemode and forgot password

    Networking in Safemode

    I tried uninstalling and re-installing the adapter and it didn't work. I tried another suggestion I found doing a search. They suggested to click on the Network Icon before booting in to Safemode and connecting to the adapter. The only thing listed was Airplane mode. I guess Windows 10 will not initialize a wireless adapter in Safemode.
