When you are at the command prompt you will need to find your Windows drive letter. It is not always C: drive when you are at the prompt. The command prompt will look like this. X:sources> Type C: at the prompt and press Enter. That will change the drive letter to C:\> Now type dir at the prompt and press Enter. Read the output. It should look like this.
<dir> Preflogs
<dir> Program files
<dir> Program files (x86)
<dir> Users
<dir> Windows
If C:\ does not look like that, type D: and press Enter, that will bring you to D:\>. type dir again and press Enter, look for the above directory’s (folders). If D: drive does not have the above folders, Type E: and press Enter, at the E: prompt, type dir and look for the above folders. I just tried it myself and the Windows directory (Folder) was on the E: drive. Your Windows drive letter might be C, D, E, or F.
Once you find what drive letter Windows is on, try mrgeek’s suggestion first (it’s easier than enabling the Admin account). At the command prompt type
bcdedit /deletevalue {current} safeboot and press Enter. Be careful when typing the command. It must match exactly. If one letter, space, or character is out place, it will not work. Notice the brackets around the word current are not parentheses (I don’t know what they are called). You can also Copy and Paste the command at the prompt. After that type exit at the prompt and press Enter. That will close the command prompt. Click the X on the top right corner of the screen. You will get a message asking if you want to cancel or quit installation. Click Yes. This will restart the computer. Hopefully you will be out of safe mode.
If you are still in safe mode, repeat what I posted above. Go to the drive letter of Windows. At the command prompt type regedit and press Enter. Then follow the directions in the guide to activate the Admin account.
