Which command restored to you to normal?
If that is given, then the other users would look in to .
were your problems solved. if so, kindly , select modify in your opening thread and add "Solved" to the left of the query. were the commands used in running the windows or from cd?.

I used msconfig.exe; under the Boot tab, I removed the checkmark from 'Safe Boot' . On the General Tab, I usually would choose 'Normal Setup' unless I'm in fix mode.

Hi, What about the problem. Is it solved? to your satisfaction.
Shane:
IN a upcoming update to my Windows repair tool I am moving a lot of the text in the main window of the program to a help file because of how cluttered I think it is.
Since it will have a help file this also means I can finally add a lot more things to it for the users who need it.
one of the things that I need to add is how to get out safe mode. But that isnt the correct term.
What is happening for some people is on Windows 8 and 10, they are using their online accounts, no big deal. but for some reason MS has safe mode set to use a different password their then online one, and a lot of users cant remember what that password was.
Safe mode is part of Windows and my program calls the bcdedit command to have the bott manager set to always boot into safe mode. Well if the user cant login the program is unable to run the command to turn that off and now they are stuck.
So If anyone wants to help me write a guide of ways to have the boot manger remove the safe boot options outside of windows would be very helpful.
I asked one user to do the boot options and choose command prompt, but it also wanted a password before it would show the cmd.exe window where they could run the command. So it either has to be run in the startup repair section where it normally has a cmd.exe option or Windows PE needs to be downloaded and ran from a USB.
If anyone has any info on this or wants to help let me know. I dont know why MS would do that with safe mode and the online accounts, but so be it, now I need to find a way to undo the boot edit without being able to get into windows and in a way a normal user can do it if they follow instructions. So msconfig isnt going to help on this one, but the msconfig will be one of the other guides in the help file to undo the safe mode option, that and simply opening my program as well :-)

Boggin:
Perhaps a query to MS to see if they can provide an update so that a password isn't required for Safe Mode ?
Win 7 seems to manage okay without one.
Shane:
Its the users who setup a pin to login instead of a password. Safe mode wants the password not the pin and the users cant remember it.
Seems like a rather be design flaw to have a user using a pin only for a long period and then when going to safe mode they cant use the pin.
