Cannot Power PC Off From Lock Screen
So I'm attempting to repair a PC that has a disabled account on it, which seems simple enough from the get-go: Maybe boot into a flash drive, swap out the registry files; possibly even try a few programs to reset the account.
None of these options were working, and I was trying to figure out why, and I realized that I was using the power button to turn the PC off, which was still keeping it in a hibernated state, making it active. Problem with this, is that any programs I try to use to fix the PC won't be able to recognize the Windows partition, as it is active. So...
Does anyone know how to shut a PC down from the lock screen and turn it off? It seems like it should be simple enough, but I can't even click on the power menu to turn it off (as is shown in the picture). Pressing the okay button just flickers the screen to the regular lock screen, and then brings back up the same message.
