Scenario: Stuck in safe mode login screen and can't log in

"Needed to boot in safe mode, used msconfig to set the boot mode, but I am stuck in the perpetual safe login screen. My password is in a program on the system that I cannot access. Tried shift restart and tried startup settings, but this does not do a normal boot, just another safe mode. How to get out of safe mode Windows 10 without password? Please help, thanks."

Sometimes, you may need to boot your Windows 10 into safe mode to troubleshoot some computer problems. However, chances are that you cannot get into the safe mode or are constantly booting into safe mode.

Generally speaking, you can easily disable safe mode with "msconfig" from the Run dialog or Command Prompt if you could log into the system. But what if you forgot Windows 10 password and are stuck in safe mode login screen? It's a little bit of hassle. But you don't need to worry too much. In this guide we'll show you how to turn off safe mode Windows 10 without password in two effective ways.

How to get out of safe mode Windows 10 without password?

When you are stuck in safe mode Windows 10 without password, the following two methods can save you from it with ease. Please refer to the steps below and learn how to make it.

Way 1. Get out of safe mode using Windows 10 installation disk

If you are trapped in safe mode and cannot remember your Windows 10 password, you can ask a Windows 10 installation disk for help. It works by allowing you to open Command Prompt in which you are able to enter commands to get out of safe mode Windows 10 without password.

Step 1. Create a Windows 10 installation disk with Microsoft's media creation tool.

Step 2. Insert the disk into your computer that you cannot disable safe mode, restart it and press the BIOS key (usually F2, Del, or Esc) to enter the BIOS settings.

Step 3. Change the boot order to the installation disk and boot your PC from it.

Step 4. When the Windows Setup shows up, press the Shift + F10 keys to wake up a cmd.exe window.

Step 5. In the Command Prompt window, type the following command and hit Enter to get out of safe mode:

bcdedit /deletevalue {default} safeboot

turn-off-safe-boot

Step 6. When the command runs over, exit the cmd window and stop the Windows installation process.

Step 7. Restart the PC without inserting the installation disc, your computer would get out of safe mode and boot in normal mode by default.

Way 2. Get out of safe mode using Windows unlock tool

The second way is to apply a Windows password reset tool like AOMEI Partition Assistant Professional. What you should know is that this way does not help you turn off safe mode directly like the above method. It will remove or reset your forgotten Windows 10 password first so that you can enter into safe mode without a password and then disable safe mode using msconfig normally.

This software 100% works on Windows 11/10/8/7/XP/Vista computers and absolutely secures your data all the time. You can follow the guide below to see how to get out of safe mode Windows 10 without password using AOMEI Partition Assistant Professional.
