Stuck in safe mode. No way out?

This is really quite odd.  Especially being that you have tired f8 and f12 and you are still stuck in safe mode.  \n\nHave one suggestion that just may work for you.  Pull all the cables from your laptop or desk top and then reconnect them and turn your desktop or laptop back on and then see if the system will load windows will give you a normal bootup outside of the safe mode.\n\nIf it works you may have to reset the clock/year in the tray so that your time is exact as possible to your ISP.  \n\nMinddoctor, France

during power up one of the Function keys will let you boot into safe mode....well in that menu you can see a command line login, if you know the command line well you can do anything but it takes a while to do but once your in, change away anything.   Just so u know, anything can be done from the command line before the actual windows login screen appears. Or just use a simple Linux live cd, you don't need to install live cds from linux

What do you mean by "not start up"? You could try hitting f 8 when booting up (keep hitting f 8). that will take you to a screen where you can start in safe mode. uninstall the video card driver and reboot into normal mode. Then reinstall your driver

well if its a program watching you, you can boot up safe mode with networking. an easy way to get it to start in safe mode with networking everytime is to go to start-run-msconfig. somewhere in msconfig u can tell it to boot safe mode

Try This. Start up the Computer and hold down F8. This will bring to a prompt that gives you a choice of how to startup. Choose Safe Mode. When you get to the same blue screen Hopefully there will you and an Admistator listed, click the administrator and hope it doesn't require a password as well. If none of this has come to pass yet  than the rest of this may be useless.\n\nIf you sign in as the administrator and you load into safe mode go into the control panel and click "User Accounts" and you should be able to change or disable your login password from there.  \n\nThis method does rely on a lot of maybes. I really hope this helps.

As far as windows is concerned...plse try logging to safe mode. you have to keep tapping on F8 key to go to advanced options menu after you see the HP logo during the startup. \nThere in the menu choose safe mode and login as administrator.\nonce booted to desktop verify the user accounts and if required create one and then try loggin in the normal mode.
