Issues with Reboot to Safe Mode
« on: August 07, 2015, 05:56:06 am »
Well, I was fixing to use the Windows Repair v3.4.0 tool, and clicked the "Reboot to Safe Mode." I rebooted to my logon account (an Outlook.com account) and it asked for my password.  I've forgotten it since whenever I have been logging into windows, I've been using a four-digit code. SO, even cold boots are bringing my machine up in Safe Mode! How in the world do I get my system to boot as normal so that I can use the 4-digit code?  (I have logged on to Outlook.com and changed my password... however using the new password on this Safe logon screen is not working.  Help, please!

Well, after going through every password I could remember possibly using, I typed in the one that got me into Windows 8.1 in SAFE MODE.  Now, if I reboot, am I going to be able to reboot "normally," or am I going to have to do something special to logon normally?  Thank you!

Shoot lol can you access recovery environment open up cmd and type bcdedit /deletevalue {default} safeboot
Mash the f8 button when choosing restart in the login menu then open the cmd prompt.

The program changes the boot manager to have the system start in safe mode. Once you log into safe mode there is a run once command that changes the boot manager back to normal, so you should be fine once you get logged in :-)

Also once logged in you can also open up msconfig and change the boot option there as well.
