Windows 10: Can’t sign in on choose an option screen

My PC is stuck in the ‘choose an option screen’ start up loop, and I can’t fix it as you have to sign in to your outlook account to use any of the options. So I reset the password, however the new password doesn’t work. Is there any way to fix this or will I have to just keep guessing the old password?

:)

 

My screen only shows the "choose an option" screen.

Hi,



Thank you for updating us. Let me help you.



I suggest you to perform an automatic repair and check if it helps.

Step 1: Create ISO for Windows 10



You may also refer to the article mentioned below to for downloading Windows 10 on your computer.

Download Windows 10



Step 2: Perform an Automatic repair

The Automatic repair can detect and fix the issues that prevent the computer from working normally.

After you have a Windows 10 installation disc/USB, follow these steps:

• 
  When your computer starts, wait for the manufacturer logo to check the option for boot menu, it will usually be F12.
  
• 
  The boot menu key might differ with each manufacturer. If you are unable to find the boot menu key, you may refer the user manual.
  
• 
  Restart the computer, when the manufacturer's logo is displayed, keep pressing the Boot menu option key to enter the boot menu and change the boot option to CD\DVD ROM (in case you create DVD). Select USB in case
  you create USB.
  
• 
  After you boot your computer using Windows DVD or System Repair Disc, a black screen appears with gray text "Press any key to boot from CD or DVD". Press any key.
  
• 
  Select the correct time and Keyboard type.
  
• 
  Click Repair your computer in the lower left corner.
  
• 
  Click on Troubleshooting, advanced option and then click Startup Repair.
  

Step 3

If automatic repair doesn’t help to repair the startup files, you may try to repair them using these commands through Command Prompt under Advance Options.



Refer to the steps:

• 
  After you boot your computer using Windows 8 DVD
  or System Repair Disc, a black screen appears with gray text "Press any key to boot from CD or DVD". Press any key.

  Select the correct time and Keyboard type.

Unable to sign into Windows

Hi Peter,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

1. What is the error you get while trying to sign in?
   
2. When you say ‘0000’, are you referring to a PIN?
   
3. Is it a local or Microsoft account, you use with Windows sign in?
   
4. Do you see any other sign in options like password, fingerprint or facial recognition?
   
5. Do you see any options on screen to reset your password?
   

If you are using the Microsoft account with Windows sign in, choose password option under sign in options and type in the Microsoft account password and let us know if it works.



Please get back to us with the information requested, so that we can suggest the appropriate troubleshooting steps.



Regards,
