Windows 10: Windows Startup Repair says password is incorrect.

I had just done a gpu driver update, and it required a system restart to install. Normally, when my pc tries to restart it freezes on a black screen with the monitor backlight and system fans on. So i normally just force shut it down by holding the power button. I did that but as it booted up, i got an “inaccessable boot device” bsod. I restarted twice and went to automatic startup repair, but it was password locked to my @live.com account. I had forgotten the password, so i reset it on another device. I used the password i had just made, but startup repair said it was incorrect. Many restarts, OC removal, hardware removal, and hours later, nothing has changed.

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
