  2. 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.

  3. Windows 10 Safe Mode PIN Failure

    Thank you Isha. I tried your safe mode suggestion WITH networking. It still did not work.

    But I got round it by removing the PIN
    even though Cortana does not work. Here is how:

    1. Right-click on desktop

    2. click on Personolise

    3. in the blue search bar type Sign-in to get the sign-in option

    4. click on Sign-in options

    5. under the PIN section click on Remove

    6. type in the user password (not PIN)

    The PIN is now removed. This would now allow signing into windows in the Safe Mode, etc.

    N.B. you could also go to the next step (step 7) and remove the account password all together if required.

    Not able to turn on internet in safe mode startup screen? Pin isn’t available?

    Not able to see anything on safe mode screen

    Thank you very much for your reply.


    I meant to add this method to boot to Safe Mode:

    a. Boot your PC from a Win 10 installation disk.
    b. via 'Repair your computer' and the advanced startup screens, continue to a command prompt.
    c. Enter one of these commands:


    • Enable Safe Mode - Type: bcdedit /set {default} safeboot minimal and press Enter.

      Enable Safe Mode with Networking - Type:

      bcdedit /set {default} safeboot network and press Enter.
      Enable Safe Mode with Command Prompt - Type:

      bcdedit /set {default} safeboot minimal and press Enter, and then type:
      bcdedit /set {default} safebootalternateshell yes and press Enter.
    The operation completed successfully displays when you have entered the command correctly.


    Remove the installation disk and restart your PC. See if you can then boot to Safe Mode.
