    Stuck in safe mode, can't boot normally, password won't work and I don't have a safe mode...


    I never intended to have a safe mode password. And I might add one later. I'm trying to get rid of a corrupt file as it can't be deleted by normal means so I decided to go Safe Mode to get it out easier. But when I got to the safe mode...seems that normal passwords don't work, in fact, I don't have a safe mode password at all! SO I pretty much locked my Surface with no help whatsoever at this time. I asked people online but not much help. I don't know about administrator passwords and whatnot. I don't use my Surface for more business stuff but more rather recreational uses. How can I go back to normal mode if I don't have a safe mode password?

    :)

    Freezes in login screen of Safe Mode. Works ok in normal mode

    News: I have found that removing 2 (1 set) of the 4 sticks (8Gb total) of DDR, safe mode boots correctly. Checked also, that if I plug them again, safe mode won’t work. Then I have swapped sets, even mixing them with no luck. What bothers me is that these 4 sticks pass prime95 blend test in Windows normal mode (not safe mode).

    The timings are auto and voltage to OCZ Reapers specs 2.1v. Tested also with specs timings entered by hand in BIOS (just in case). Do you have some suggestion? I have not changed them, they were working in safe mode as well as normal without issues even in games even OCed, and from Windows10 day one...This last Fall Creators Update has broken this, I think.

    What can I do?

    I’m having trouble logging into my PC from Safe Mode; Windows 10

    I can’t boot into normal mode. I’m trying to get out of Safe Mode but the only way to get out is to log into my PC with the password it asks me, but my password for some reason doesn’t work. The keyboard works fine. I use WiFi, and WiFi doesn’t work when in Safe Mode. I’m ultimately stuck right now. Can’t do anything else. Been trying all day, looking for countless solutions
