    Running Windows10 on a gateway pc. The problem is something has corrupted my ability to boot and now I'm getting blue screen error upon boot. After failing to boot a couple of times it will automatically attempt to repair startup, BUT to do that it demands a password to access the admin account (which I have lost the password to). So now I'm stuck because all the answers I find on google require me to hit f8 for advanced boot options and as most of you know f8 doesn't work on windows 10. So the fix is to boot up and then enable the ability to hit f8 (and I obviously can't do that because it wont boot up in the first place to get that point).

    So now I'm really confused on what to do. I can't boot, I can't hit f8, I can't use the repair utility because it's asking me for a password I can't remember. What do I do? Please help.

    :)

    Volume Mute Light won´t change color


    Which steps did you perform? Was this from a clean boot?
    Open administrative command prompt and type or copy and paste this command: shutdown /r /o /f /t 00
    It will boot to the recovery options or windows advanced troubleshooting menu.
    Click troubleshooting and click reset this computer. You will be saving files. Applications and programs will be removed. Windows will be reinstalled.
    Enter your windows logon password.
    You will see getting things ready with rotating dots.
    Click resetting this PC.
    It will then display the HP logo with resetting this PC with rotating dots and a percentage.

    Can't get windows 10 to boot

    Can't get windows 10 to boot. I put the PC to sleep today before leaving for work and it didn't like it at all. No matter what I do. Can't get into windows. I can get into windows safe mode though.

    Tried the following to no avail

    - load bios defaults
    - auto repair windows can't repair
    - cold boot
