Windows 10: I am trying to use advanced options on WinRe boot window, but it's asking me.for my pswd...

My screen is stuck on "we couldn't complete updates" so I am trying to get to WinRe advanced options but somehow it's not recognizing the correct pswd

:)

 

How can i boot into advanced recovery options

After three failed reboot attempts, Windows automatically runs Startup Repair, and you're provided an option to enter Recovery Options (WinRE).

Note: Alternately, you can create a Windows 11 setup disk from another computer and boot the subject computer from the setup disk. You can enter WinRE that way.

Once you're into WinRE, click troubleshoot → Advanced → Command Prompt.

Type

• BCDEDIT
  

Press Enter.

Take a photo of the output window and upload it here.

 

How does Windows boot to advanced recovery option e.g. command prompt?

- that gives me a 454 'Unexpected error' This tells me that the BCD is partially corrupted.

The commands: shutdown.exe /r /o /f /t 00
or: %SystemRoot%\System32\Cmd.exe /c reagentc /boottore&shutdown /r /f /t 00
should boot into Recovery if everything is configured correctly.
FYI, If Windows is configured correctly:

1. If Reagentc is disabled, you still can get into Recovery but with limited options.
2. If Reagentc is enabled, you'll get all options.
3. If you boot Windows using Recovery USB stick, You'll get into Recovery with couple of options missing.

Here's my suggestion if you want to try:
OPTION 1: Will save the trouble of re-install Windows.

1. Download the image of my first 3 partitions (450MB Recovery, 100 MB EFI partition, and 16MB unformatted primary)
   EFI_Boot-00-00.7z - Google Drive
2. Run Macrium and restore the image from step 1, overwriting your existing 1st three partitions, leaving C alone.
3. Delete the 490MB Recovery partition.
4. From Macrium, run fix boot problems.
5. Reboot. Open Admin command prompt then run Reagentc /info to make sure that it is enabled. If not, enable it.
   if failed to enable, reboot and try again.

OPTION 2: Assuming you've already had Windows backup with Macrium.

1. Wipe out the first 5 parttiions. (450MB, 100MB, 16MB, C Drive, 480MB)
2. Fresh install Windows 10
3. Restore C drive from backup image, run fix boot problems
4. repeat step 5 from OPTION 1 above.

 

Pswd problems

I forgot my password & after resetting on my computer --- now I get an error msg that my table is offline & I must use the previous pswd. Well I reset because I had forgotten my pswd, so I don't have the previous pswd. What now? The computer is worthless
now. Any suggestions?
