Windows 10: Forgot my password in safemode

Hi. I tried to reinstall my graphics drivers and rebooted accidentally to some safemode. I've allways used the pin to sign in but there's no option for that. No option for resetting password or anything. My pc doesent connect to internet even its through LAN. I changed my Ms password on phone but it doesent work. Do I have to reinstall Windows or is there a way?

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
