Can't boot in to standard mode

(1/2) > >>

SpeedyIN:
Chose to have tweaking boot into safe mode. When ask for a password, I forgot my Microsoft password. SO, I went to another machine, logged into my Microsoft account, and said that I had forgotten it, after a few hoops, I reset my password.

HOWEVER, tweaking while in Safe Mode, won't accept my new password, and I'm in an endless loop.

I know it's correct because I can login to my Microsoft account on another machine with the new password. HELP

Have a read through this article to see if it will help - https://www.windowscentral.com/how-reset-your-password-after-youre-locked-out-your-windows-10-account

SpeedyIN:
Thank you for the response. I didn't have a problem resetting the password. I can login using the new password on another laptop, with no problem. But when I use the same new password on the one I was using Tweaking on, it won't accept it.

I thought maybe it was the fact it didn't have an ethernet cable plugged in, but that didn't work either.

I also tried the bcdedit /delete safemode thing (can't remember the exact command, but I used it), and that didn't work either.

Still looking for a way out. THANKS AGAIN, I appreciate it.

Boggin:
Try that method in the article which sends you a code where it should reset your MS account password for both machines.

I've changed it again. Problem is I think, is that Tweaking put it in safe mode (at my request), but in Safe Mode there NO WIRELESS connectivity to the internet. No port for a cable, so the password can't be verified, because it's not getting to the internet. Is there some way to cancel safe mode even via powershell or command line?

I've tried bcdedit to remove safemode, but that doesn't work.
