Windows 10: I've been completely locked out after going into safe mode.

No matter what password or pin I put in, it just says its incorrect. My screen aspect ratio was also changed and it no longer shows the power button on screen.


I'm stuck and I'm not sure what to do anymore

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.

Windows fails to complete boot, always drops into Safe mode

Hello there all,
Thanks for all your advice. It is 1903 by the bye Dalchina ;P
Let me see what`s going on...

I only think it`s safe mode because it resembles safe mode I`ve seen before - but it might be something else. The Dell screen resolution is fine but when the Windows icon appears the resolution is reduced drastically and from then on there is a thick black border. Things in that border are unusually chunky and wider than they should be - which makes everything hard to read.
So I might have fallen into a semantic hole here - it looks like safe mode won`t go away but everything else is working(ish) so I`ve been calling it a safe mode boot problem whereas it`s likely a symptom.

Give me a moment to
- check for my computer on a Dell JP list
- see if my BIOS is up to date (I bought this computer in 2012 and it might be time for a new one at any rate)
- try to run the start up repair again.

That ought to be enough to keep me busy for a bit... then I`ll be back to report and try out some of your other suggestions.

Wish me luck?

Boot into Safe Mode on Windows 10  


I am stuck in Safe Mode in spite of following all the suggested steps to go back to Normal Startup - Like opening file location of msconfig.exe & running as Administrator. The computer I am trying to get out of safe mode has just been updated from Windows 7.
