  1. I'm stuck in safe mode with networking hell with admin. password not accepted


    I went into safe mode to reset my antivirus, Bitfender. Once there, I can't get out of safe mode since this requires an administrative password which windows now doesn't recognize. For whatever stupid reason Windows devised, your administrative password does not work while in safe mode! I've used my PIN and my Microsoft password and neither work. I don't have a start up disc for windows 10 to use to restart my pc without it automatically going into safe mode because I bought this computer with Windows 10 on it. This seems to be the only way out of this loop from what I've read online. Every suggestion or help online suggests using a cmd like misconfig which requires an administrative password which safe mode won't recognize or going into boot options which requires an admin. password, and since safe mode doesn't accept or recognize my password, I'm stuck in a never ending loop of restarting or shutting down my pc with it going straight back into safe mode on restart. Have I just lost the use of this computer in an administrative capacity? I can still use it under a secondary user account which doesn't have access to administrative privileges but this restricts my full use of this pc because it is forever stuck in safe mode without a way out! PLEASE HELP!

    :)

  3. Password not accepted in Safe mode

    Hi,

    Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Community forum.

    Have you tried all the above steps suggested by Sangeeta Sarkar on September 13, 2015.

    I would suggest you to provide some information to help you better.

    • Are you trying to login the Microsoft account or the Local account in safe mode?
    • Did you try with only safe mode or safe mode with networking?
    • What is the critical error you are getting?

    If you are using Windows 10. To go to safe mode you have to follow the below steps.

    If you are able to go to login screen in normal mode try the below steps to go to safe mode with networking.


    • At the login screen click on the power symbol.

    • Hold SHIFT + Click Restart.

    • After restarting your system, select the Troubleshoot option.

    • Select advanced options under
      Troubleshoot screen.

    • Click on Startup Settings.

    • Click Restart and follow the onscreen steps to go to
      Safe Mode with networking and check if you are able to login.

    [*]
    Please get back with more information, we will be glad to help you further.
