Windows 10: New password doesn’t work when I try to launch safe mode

Hi everyone, I hope you have some advice for me here.


I was trying to uninstall Avast from my PC since its firewall blocks some connections, and i cant launch it to disable it. So the guide said that I should use avastclear in Safe Mode to uninstall it.


I go to switch to safe mode and it asks me for a password. I fill in my password and it says that it is incorrect. So I go ahead and change it but it still doesn’t work with the new password.


What do I do when it doesn’t let me in Safe Mode?


EDIT: The new password works when I use it in Normal Boot.

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.

 

New FF - passwords


Hi:

If that setting is already enabled, then I suggest as the next troubleshooting step might be Mozilla Safe Mode (not to be confused with Windows Safe Mode)):

Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode | Firefox Help

• Please report back and let us know the outcome, as it will dictate the next steps.
• Also: please tell us what AV/AM/firewall programs are you running on this system?

Thanks,
MM
