  1. Win 10 - MSCONFIG - Only pin visible - I know pin and password - Can not enter password.


    So... I did the stupid thing some of users in this forum did.


    I played with MSCONFIG and set it to start in safemode.

    My problem is that I can not in anyway get the password input-box to appear, only the PIN.
    And as it turns out PIN is not a valid method to lig in to safemode.


    So ofourse I read alot and had shift pressed while restarting use safemode with networking not working, still only pin

    And then I did it again into the elevated CMD and wrote


    bcdedit /deletevalue {current} safeboot
    which did not work and
    bcdedit /deletevalue {default} safeboot

    which gave a "value deleted"


    The situation now is that CTRl+ALT+DELETE still do not work,

    and I can not still se a password-box,

    and still PIN is not a valid method of entering my computer.


    The big difference is that my windows now says

    "do you want to search app store for an app"

    when I try to login


    So for me as an admin on my computer I just want to restart in normal mode

    or be able to get the password input field to start in safemode.

    Any solutions or suggestions?

    :)

    Is it possible not to enter the password/PIN at Window startups?

    You may have missed a step. After the un-check, click apply, then the next screen will ask for the Pasword twice. Enter and OK. Then OK again. That should do it.
