  2. 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.

  3. Unable to login or enter safe mode after update.

    Hello,

    I regret the inconvenience caused to you as you are unable to access the Safe mode on your device after installing the latest update. Do not worry we will help you with this issue.

    I would like to know the details below to assist you better.


    • Did you make any changes other than Windows Updates?

    • Which was the latest Windows Update (KB number) installed on your device?

    • Have you connected any external devices other than mouse and keyboard?

    I suggest you disconnect all external devices if you have connected any, hard reboot the device and check if you are able to login to the computer.

    Try the below troubleshooting steps and check if it helps you to access the operating system.

    Method 1: Disable
    automatic restart after failure


    I suggest you refer the below article and follow the section Disable automatic restart after failure.

    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-in/windows-8/windows-startup-settings-safe-mode

    (Applies to Windows 10 as well)

    If the issue still persist,

    Method 2: I suggest you to try automatic repairing the Windows and check if it helps.

    Step 1: Download the Windows 10 ISO and create a Media Creation tool and then perform Automatic Repair.

    Refer to the following link: Installing Windows 10 using the media creation tool

    (Refer to the section "Installing Windows 10 using the media creation tool” in the above article for creating the tool).

    Step 2: After creating the tool perform an Automatic Repair.

    I would like to inform that, if your Windows 10 is not able to boot or startup, Automatic Repair will come into action and try to diagnose and fix the issue. It will scan system files, registry settings, configuration settings and
    more and try to fix the problem on its own, automatically.

    Perform the Automatic repair:

    • When your computer starts, wait for the manufacturer logo to check the option for boot menu, it will usually be
      F12.
    • The boot menu key might differ with each manufacturer. If you are unable to find the boot menu key, you may refer the user manual.
    • Restart the computer, when the manufacturer's logo is displayed, keep pressing the
      Boot menu option key to enter the boot menu and change the boot option to
      CD\DVD ROM.
    • After you boot your computer using Windows 10 DVD, a black screen appears with gray text "Press any key to boot from CD or DVD". Press any key.
    • Select the correct time and Keyboard type.
    • Click Repair your computer in the lower left corner
    • Click on Troubleshooting, advanced option and then click
      Automatic repair.


    Hope this helps. If the issue remains unresolved, please get back to us with more information and we’d be happy to help.
