Safe mode to go back to previous version of update won’t accept password

Hi Joanneculpin,

Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

Could you please help me with the below information:

1. What is the make and model of the computer?
   
2. Are you using the Local account or the Microsoft account?
   

Computer freezing usually happens because of software related issues. The password issue occurs if the keyboard layout of Windows has been changed. To resolve this issue follow the steps mentioned below:

Method 1: Safe mode with Networking.


Note: Safe mode starts Windows in a basic state, using a limited set of files and drivers. You cannot access third party apps or install anything in safe mode. Restart the computer
to start the PC in normal mode.

I would also suggest you to follow the steps mentioned in the article to
‘Start your PC in safe mode in Windows 10’,
choose the option From Sign in screen. Restart your computer in
Safe mode with Networking. Check if you can sign in to the computer now.

If that doesn’t accept the password, try with On-Screen keyboard.

• Tap on Windows
  and U key at the same on the keyboard.
  
• Select On-screen keyboard from the
  Ease of Access list or click on
  Ease of Access at bottom right corner of the screen and select
  On-Screen Keyboard from the list.
  
• Use the cursor to type the password, before clicking the login, press the
  eye symbol option to check the password.
  

Method 2: Go back to the previous build.

If you wish to ‘Go back to previous build’, I would suggest you to follow these steps.

In the sign in screen, hold the down the Shift
key, while you select the Power button, and then select
Restart.

After the PC restarts, click on Troubleshoot > Advanced options > Go back to previous build,
follow the On screen instructions and let us know if you need further assistance regarding this issue.






Hope it helps.
