Windows 10: How do I reset msconfig from a boot into safemode with network startup that has locked me...

Hello. I reboot my laptop into safemode with network and it now will not allow me to log to windows because I have no NIC available. it seems like hardware failure or some serious virus that disable my NIC since it had a yellow ! in device manager. In any case I reboot using msconfig safemode with network and not the windows 11 log in screen cannot set my login pin and will not allow me access. I tried rebooting from recovery screen and resetting the machine but it cannot find the cloud and I have no disk or media to run recovery. Any information that can help is appreciated. TIA.

Networking in Safemode

I tried uninstalling and re-installing the adapter and it didn't work. I tried another suggestion I found doing a search. They suggested to click on the Network Icon before booting in to Safemode and connecting to the adapter. The only thing listed was Airplane mode. I guess Windows 10 will not initialize a wireless adapter in Safemode.

 

Networking in Safemode

Thanks everyone for trying to help. I have tried all the suggestions posted. When I try to access the wireless adapter before booting in to Safemode the only thing listed is Airplane mode. I'm guessing either Asus or MS doesn't want me to use wireless networking in Safemode.

 

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.
