Windows 10: Safe Mode Sign In Issues.

Hello,


Does anyone have any idea how to sign in to safe mode when the correct password isn't being accepted? And you read that correctly... the CORRECT password isn't being accepted. Absolutely unbelievable. Not only that, but as far as I can tell the only definite 'convenient' workarounds to this is either to install windows onto a usb drive, boot up with this and go to 'repair' and then use some command prompt code to delete the need for a password in safe mode. The other option is to reinstall windows. I mean, this is just absolutely ridiculous and all because windows doesn't know how to recognise a correct password. I'd greatly appreciate any solutions to this.


Regards

:)

 

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.

New FF - passwords

Hi:

If that setting is already enabled, then I suggest as the next troubleshooting step might be Mozilla Safe Mode (not to be confused with Windows Safe Mode)):

• Please report back and let us know the outcome, as it will dictate the next steps.
• Also: please tell us what AV/AM/firewall programs are you running on this system?

Thanks,
