Windows 10: stuck in safe mode, password NOT working

After stupidly following instructions to go into safe mode to recall a secret file, (which now appears to be lost forever along with all my art), my Windows 10 PC is stuck in safe mode.

It will NOT accept my password. Which I have changed 4 times now.

The suggestion that Windows Icon + R may help, does NOT work.

The suggestion that the Shift + Power Button, could help, does NOT work.

The F2 or del suggestion on my ASUS that shows within seconds of rebooting, takes me to a blue screen, bios, which I know zero about and am haven't messed with.

I need to get into the windows screen. Help?

:)

 

Stuck in safe mode in windows 10

Safe mode is intended to help fix most, if not all problems within an operating system, it's not good if we got stuck on it. To correct this, we suggest that you follow the steps below to exit out of Safe mode:

• Open Run command by pressing Windows key + R
  keys on the keyboard and type msconfig in the command box and press
  Enter.
• Under General tab, put a check on Normal Startup option.
• Reboot the system and check if the changes are effective.

Let us know if you are able to exit out of Safe mode with these steps.

 

Stuck in safe mode

Sorry, I know next to nothing about Microsoft passwords.

If you're stuck in Safe Mode then you could do this:

• Use System Restore to set Windows back to a point when the machine worked in normal mode.
• Create, test and document a spare local admin acccount, same as you have a spare house key and for exactly the same reason.
• Repeat the repair you did before.

 

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.
