Windows 10: Can't Boot (and No Access To Safe Boot)

I ran out of hard drive space during an operation, so erased some personal files, and tried to re-boot, but it gets stuck a second after those circular dots start to rotate.

I can't get to booting in safe mode either. Tried assigning the boot mode to legacy so I can use the F8 key, but no luck.

When I get to repair attempts they fail.

I have a boot USB drive with my Windows 10 on it. I tried that to get to safe mode, but the Start Up Settings tab is replaced with "UEFI Firmware Setting."

Any idea what I can do?

Thanks.

Selecting safe mode on msconfig.exe boot option, unable to log-in to the system error password is incorrect

I used msconfig.exe to boot to safe mode in Windows 10.

Windows boots, and then comes to the password prompt. When I enter the password, it says the password is incorrect.

However this is the password I use every day to log into my computer...

Now I can't access Windows. It also will not boot normal, it only boots to safe mode, and password prompt.

How can I access windows?

Help, I'm locked out in safe mode.

Stuck in safe mode boot.

Can't change password to log in because of lack of Internet access.

Now what?

 

Hi jimlau.

If you want to get to safe mode start your machine, when you see the dots press and hold power button until it shuts down. When it shuts off power on again and when you see the dots, hold power button until it powers off. Power on again and it should take you to the advance Startup.

From there you could try a restore. Here is our tutorial.

I tried that, but it gets me to the same place - the Start Up Settings tab is replaced with "UEFI Firmware Setting."

Is it a lost cause?

 

Did you restore your BIOS setting. You had said you went in and changed to legacy so you could use F8. Set that back to what is was and retry, please.
