Windows 10: How do I disable safe mode on my computer if I have forgotten the password required for...

My computer was put into safe mode and I am unsure how to disable it. I have forgotten the password as I have always used a pin to log into the computer. I am unable to use a windows account password as rebooting safe mode with networking doesn't connect to the internet. How am I able to overcome this issue and leave safe mode?

How do I change (or disable) the password required for Safe Mode?

Hi,

I'd like to start my laptop in Safe Mode, but it requires a password. Normally I use a PIN code when logging in to my computer. I do know my Microsoft password, but it is not accepted by the Safe Mode.

As far as I know I've never set a password on this computer except my Microsoft password. So, what password is it Safe Mode is after? And how do I change it?

Thank you for helping!

 

Problems with password in Safe Mode

When I try to log on to my desktop computer in Safe Mode it tells me my current password is incorrect. If I log on to my laptop computer in Safe Mode my current password is accepted. My wife can log on to my desktop computer in Safe Mode using her current password without any problem. If I log on to my desktop computer in Safe Mode using my previous Microsoft password, however, that is accepted.

Can anyone suggest what might be the problem with my desktop Safe Mode log-on and how I can get it to accept my current password, please.

Thanks in anticipation.
