    I was also trapped in the twilight zone of having forced safe boot in msconfig, causing all subsequent tries to start windows requiring forgotten password. I also tried booting from Win 10 iso and getting to console that way, but "net user" commands could not change passwords on the C: drive. Bcdedit, however, worked a treat . . . Next boot was back to normal, accepting my pin instead of continuing to ask for a password.

    I guess I'll start sending my nephew all my passwords, so maybe next time, but until then, thank you topgundcp!

    Topgundcp...
    Hi,

    I have the exact issue posted (Stuck in safe mode, password doesn't work) where you had suggested getting Rescue6.1.1023x64.iso on a google drive. That link is not good at this time. Was that just a standard Windows 10 64b image or something different. If different, is it still available? If so, where please? If it's just a windows 10 image I can try to find elsewhere... is the 'bcdedit' something on the standard windows image?

    Much appreciated,
