  1. Windows won't accept my PIN on safe mode but I don't know my Password to log in for Safe mode


    I was trying to log in using the PIN I always use on normal boot, but It doesn't work on safe mode.


    Now, I've put my windows on safe mode with networking in MSconfig, and now I can't log in on windows.


    I don't know what Password/PIN I should use, because I've tried using my microsoft password but it doesn't work,

    I've tried using my PIN but it doesn't work.

    :)

    Starting in Safe Mode - Password is not accepted


    Hi,

    I would like to start Windows 10 in Safe Mode, but when doing so and asked for my password it will not work.

    I normally use a pin code. The only password I can remember to have used on this machine is the password used with Microsoft OneDrive and it is not accepted when trying to log in... This password is however accepted when starting normally (without Safe Mode).

    Any ideas what can be wrong and how I can access Safe Mode?

    Problems with password in Safe Mode


    When I try to log on to my desktop computer in Safe Mode it tells me my current password is incorrect. If I log on to my laptop computer in Safe Mode my current password is accepted. My wife can log on to my desktop computer in Safe Mode using her current password without any problem. If I log on to my desktop computer in Safe Mode using my previous Microsoft password, however, that is accepted.

    Can anyone suggest what might be the problem with my desktop Safe Mode log-on and how I can get it to accept my current password, please.

    Thanks in anticipation.

    Curt
