    Re-starting in Safe Mode-Won't take Password

    been trying to get back to my regular desktop but when I restart it comes up back at the password, safe-mode place, but I can choose either my other, non admin account....or the admin account. The admin account opens to my desktop in safe-mode. I went to the command prompt and put msconfig in and put a check in the box for Normal Startup. When I restart it just repeats the same 2 log in choices with the safe mode password screen in the background. I know I'm missing, a step takes it out of admin safe mode, or I'm not sure, I went to look at the users, (by using the switch users option) and both admin and regular user accounts are there, should I choose my regular account there then log out of admin and restart? or just restart?
    I think I'm close to being back to regular.
    I think

    Safe Mode won't accept correct password

    I'm trying to run a third party software (AVG Internet Security) cleanup file that recommends Safe Mode. Yet, when I get to the Safe Mode lock screen, it won't accept my password (note that I am entering the password, not the PIN - it's the same password that gets me into my Microsoft account). Any suggestions what I should try? I'm hesitant to run the cleanup file in full Windows since it's not recommended.

    Re-starting in Safe Mode-Won't take Password

    Hi fleet420 and welcome to Tenforums.
    It's true - Safe Mode will only accept a password, not a PIN. When you first setup your user account, you used a password; then changed it to a PIN. That's where the "clue" comes from.

    You have several options here from the members. I would first try logging into your MS account online from another device, and see if you can get in (if you remember your password), otherwise, try changing it and using that to login to your system in Safe Mode, as mrgeek suggested. Failing that, the other two suggestions will also work. Good luck.
