Help got some weird download that I could not get rid of and somehow stuck the thing in safe mode without networking hell.You really get used to that damn 4 digit sign in. Have not used password since finally got 8.1 to install. Can get into other accounts but anything I do requires admin password which they made me change.
Looking for any ideas..

Thanks

Even if you are stuck in safe mode you can choose a restore point to go back to.

Or

Do a refresh or restore.

You can get to restore on a different account but it reverts to the main password. They did not talk about password reset disc so I knew nothing about it until now. I have usedvariations of the same password for since 1985 and now I had to change it because windows would not accept it.

Download Hiren's Boot CD from my link below, burn it and boot to it, there is a Password Recovery program you can use. It says it is for Windows XP through 7 but it works for 8.

    Recently lost my Windows 8 on my main PC, had to go back to Windows 7.
Same problem here, a friends notebook stuck in safe mode at the password log in, pin wont work and no idea what the password was. Can't boot from a flash drive, it doesn't recognize it in safe mode, can't access bios since I can't get past log in. Any ideas? Thanks in advance
