Password required for all recovery options

beliard · 31 May 2023

Hello guys,

Could not decide where this belongs so, bam general support.

I (via proxy) have problem with booting windows. It is in the restart loop, did not arrive to login screen, stops always on Automatic repair (bla did not start correctly). Now the issue is, that EVERY option there, even command prompt asks for unknown password (he is using MS acc, so maybe did not even knew the local pass in first place). Safe mode does not work. Can you think about any option to bypass this?

Clean install and so on are last options, when he can deliver it to me to do it, looking for remote guide solution mostly.

Thanks

Boot from a Windows installation disk instead. It has all those repair facilities and does not ask for passwords. It can be made on another computer.

Welcome to TenForums.

It's really worth making time to browse through the Tutorial index - there's a shortcut to it at the top of every page.

- At the foot of the Tutorial index is a shortcut to download it as a spreadsheet.
- I download a new copy each month.
- By downloading it as a spreadsheet I can benefit from Excel's excellent filtering capabilities when I search for topics of interest.

- Tutorials are also listed by category at Tutorials - there's also a shortcut to that at the top of every page.
- Both tutorial lists are searchable.
- You can also search for TenForumsTutorials in many general search engines, such as Google, by adding site:tenforums.com/tutorials after your search term. For example,
taskbar toolbars site:tenforums.com/tutorials

Yeah that would be an option when it will be at my hands as (not so clearly

) mentioned. Was hoping for some magic trick how to get to cmd or something even with this conditions without external media.

And he ought to be able to log in to his normal MSAccount-linked user account with his MS account's normal password anyway.

Best of luck,
And thanks for the rep,
