    Trying to restart in safe mode Win10. after choosing safe mode asks for password, but none of my passwords work.

    Trying to restart in safe mode Win10. Went through all the steps and after choosing safe mode asks for password, but none of my passwords work. I am the administrator. What password are they asking for? The name is correct above the password window. I
    am signed in to my MS account and have been verified on the authenticator.

    in safe mode my password is denied

    I have same issue.

    When restarting in Safe Mode I encounter the usual logon format but this time it asks for the password not the PIN which is used on normal starts.

    Whilst in Safe Mode the password and PIN are shown as being "incorrect".

    I have searched this site before and found the response from Engelsen Fad dated Feb 4 2017 which I have tried without success.

    What else can I do?? I need to be in safe mode but I am prevented by Windows10.

    To isolate the concern, we suggest that you reset the password of your Microsoft account through this link before re-attempting to sign in.

    You may also follow the steps below to make sure that you are typing the correct password.

    1. Restart your PC. When you reach the sign-in screen, hold the Shift key and select the Power button, and then select Restart.
    2. After your PC restarts, select Troubleshoot > Advanced options >Startup settings > Restart. After your PC restarts, you should see a number of options. Press 5 or F5 for Safe Mode with networking.
    3. When you reach login screen, press Windows + U and select the On-Screen Keyboard from the Ease of Access list. or click on Ease of Access at bottom right and select On-Screen Keyboard from
      the list.
    4. Then use you cursor to type the password with On-Screen Keyboard.
    5. Before clicking the login, press the eye symbol (I.e. Reveal Password) option in the password field, to see the password is correct.

    Let us know if you need further assistance.
