Windows 10: Windows 10 laptop stuck booting in safe mode and won’t accept password

Hi everyoneI would appreciate any and all help with my issue. I have a windows 10 laptop and to try and fix an issue with updating windows 10, I used msconfig to set my laptop to boot in safe mode. Since then it asks me for my windows password, I type that in and it won’t work. I have since changed the password and it’s the same thing. I can’t get into the cmd prompt to disable it as even that requires the password. Is there anything I can do to get back into my laptop?Thanks

:)

 

Starting in Safe Mode - Password is not accepted

My suggestion only.

If you have time, please do a Repair Install.

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.
