Windows 10: Password Not Working in Safe Mode Windows 10

Today I installed some software that changed some cosmetic settings in Windows like colors, taskbar look, etc. and it was working fine for a while, but when I wanted to uninstall it, the program bugged out my taskbar and start menu. I wasn't sure what to do as there was nothing more I could uninstall to fix the problem so I decided to restart my PC. Once the restart finished, I hit the spacebar to get to the login screen, but no login box appeared. Neither did my profile picture or my name. I was stuck on a blurred version of my lock screen image. I could still use the three icons in the bot
