  1. windows 10 reset and now it will not let me log in on startup. Incorrect password.


    My computer was running slow so I restarted it and it went into an update that never completed. After 2.5 hours I shut it down and restarted it. OS was so corrupted that it was not functional at all. I tried restore points, startup repair, return to previous version. All showed unspecified error.

    Then I did a windows 10 reset keeping my files. Now when the start up screen comes up and ask for my password it will not accept it. Incorrect password.

    And I noticed that the internet icon on the bottom right shows no connection. Im using an Ethernet cable. I have to use the password to initiate the process so I know its valid. How do I log into my account and open windows 10 without it connecting to the internet? It seems as thou I need to open the os to get it to connect to the internet yet I cannot open windows 10 without the connection. Im at a loss. And everything I need for my business is on it. Please Help!!

    :)

  2. 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
