    Startup Repair refuses to take any password


    Hello! I've been trying to diagnose frequent bluescreening via Driver Verifier, and somewhat expectedly turning it on has resulted in a boot loop where the computer bluescreens almost immediately during booting. I can get to the startup repair screen, and in theory I could go from there to a command line to turn off Driver Verifier and exit the boot loop, but the startup repair tool will not accept any password I throw at it, full stop. Is there anything I can do to get around this requirement, or remotely reset the password, or something? Without being able to log in and access a command line

    :)
