    Safe mode says incorrect password


    I boosted minimal safe mode with msconfig, but now it doesnt accept my password. I tried every password, but none works. I even tried resetting my password on web and also safe mode with networking, but still didnt work. But, one password makes the computer say like "Welcome" for a long time then says incorrect password, while the others just say incorrect password try again immediately. Please help.

    Its a Surface Pro 3 if that 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.

    I would suggest you to provide some information to help you better.
