  1. “Password incorrect” message when starting PC on Safe Mode?


    I rebooted my PC in Safe Mode after downloading Display Driver Uninstaller and although I’m sure I’m entering the right account password it continues to say the password is incorrect and I’m locked out of my PC. Please help. Thank you!

    :)

  2. Password not working in safe mode, windows 10

    Hi Kevin,

    Thank you for contacting Microsoft Community.

    In order to help you better, could you please confirm a couple of things:

    • What happens exactly when you enter the password?
    • Are you getting any error message?
    • How have you booted your computer into safe mode?
    • Are you using local or Microsoft account to login?

    I suggest you to force restart your computer and check whether you can get back your computer to normal mode.

    You may follow the steps from the below article to place the computer in safe mode and check if it helps.

    Problems with password in Safe Mode


    When I try to log on to my desktop computer in Safe Mode it tells me my current password is incorrect. If I log on to my laptop computer in Safe Mode my current password is accepted. My wife can log on to my desktop computer in Safe Mode using her current password without any problem. If I log on to my desktop computer in Safe Mode using my previous Microsoft password, however, that is accepted.

    Can anyone suggest what might be the problem with my desktop Safe Mode log-on and how I can get it to accept my current password, please.

    Thanks in anticipation.

    Curt

  4. “Password incorrect” message when starting PC on Safe Mode?

    Windows 10 on safe mode is looked (password incorrect)

    My laptop entered in the safe mode, but I don´t remember my Microsoft Password. I already used other computer to change the password the message "Password incorrect" still appearing.

    Going to Troubleshoot mode (with Restart/Shift) doesn't help because when I'm trying to get to a command prompt Win is keeping asking me for a PIN which is not accessible because network driver doesn't see the network. Suggestions?

    Observation: My Laptop is showing that there is no acess to the internet
