How to stop booting in to Safe Mode

[Gary Cottam]

I have just upgraded my PC from Windows 8 to Windows 10.

My antivirus software needed to restart and boot in to Safe Mode.

But, for years I have used the 4 digit pin login from Win 8,but I cannot remember the normal password.

Safe Mode only allows login via the normal password and not the pin, so I nol longer have accessto my PC.

How can I get the PC to start in normal mode.

I do not have any install or recovery media.

Thanks in advance.

Gary

Hello and welcome to the forum.

I do not have any install or recovery media.

I think you are going to need the installation media to rescue your PC.
You'll need to boot from it and on the second page use the link there that references "Repair your PC"
You're going to need to access the advanced troubleshooting options to perform a System Restore, to a point in time prior to this having first occurred.
You can get the media from here
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/techbench
OR here

And for that you are going to need a second computer
Once you have the ISO you can use ImgBurn to burn it to a bootable DVD or Rufus to burn it to a bootable USB ThumbDrive.
