    Windows 10 asking for administrator password for startup repair, but no admin password was...


    I'm having trouble with my mother's HP Desktop. We shut it down and unplugged it to swap the power cord into a new surge protector, but upon turning it back on, we received an error message."The operating system did not shutdown cleanly.Reconstructing Cache Metadata.Please do not interrupt this process.After letting this go for roughly half an hour, we decided to start troubleshooting. So we forced it to go into automatic repair and attempted to go into startup repair. However, it asked us for an admin password. We never set up an admin password for this computer, not to my knowledge at least.

    :)

    Windows Startup password

    Is it possible to remove a startup password without being able to log into the system? A friend's laptop just prompt her today for a password that she never enabled. Now, she does have a standard user account password, but that doesn't work for the startup password. She had the computer for about a year now and it has never asked for a startup password until today.

    I tried to use Hiren Boot CD to run a diagnostic on the laptop, but it has a bsod. Windows 10 normal boot crashes as well
