Windows 10: Windows 10 laptop won't accept my password and is now stuck in safe mode.

So this morning I started up my laptop normally, everything seemed fine until I tried typing in my password to my account. I typed it in several times and am 100% certain it was correct, but still it would tell me my password was incorrect. I looked online for a solution and found that some sources suggest booting the computer into safe mode and then restarting, so I tried doing that. However, since I booted into safe mode, it's been stuck there no matter how many times I restart my computer. I'm unable to use command prompt and several other things (including reset) because it'll first ask me for my password which isn't working in the first place. Any help would be appreciated. Here's what I've tried so far, to no avail: - Restarting the PC, several times. - Changing the boot options in the System configuration utility - Running the bcdedit /deletevalue command in command prompt (doing this came back with an error that the value could not be found.)

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?

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.

• 
  After restarting your system, select the Troubleshoot option.
