Select Restart with the shift key down? Should get you some options.

Thanks. I did that and now have a bunch of options to explore and trust to figure out which one will work for me.

Ya - there's a big menu in there a few levels in that has all the safe mode options, if that will be the helpful one - I missed it the first time I went looking...
Have fun. We'll expect a full report by Monday.

Dang that autocorrect on this phone is a pain. Any way I looked at the options any one that looked might it might be helpful needs my password to continue. If I could remember my password I would not need any of those options. Sigh....

Durn... my thought was that attempting to boot into safe mode would present you with the option of logging in as the Administrator, which might be an account you remember the password for - but now that I think of it that may not apply in Win10...
Is the box tied to a Windows account? There might be a password recovery option there. Hmmm... but no... you'd probably remember that...
Hmmm... What would Holmes do...?

I will probably end up bringing it into a shop. Get them to pull the HD and copy my documents then reinstall everything. My important stuff is fully backed up but other stuff that I have been busy with has been about a week. Hate to loose it but not a big deal if I do. I just need the machine up and running sooner rather than later.

Hmmm... you remind me of a good friend who's also very dutiful about his backups. Can't say the same for myself, though zips of the current project do tend to pile up here and there.
I have a 'book' (well, half book, half collection of scraps of paper) with all manner of user/password combinations for various and such. Still get lost from time to time, but it helps.
If you can get hold of an ISO or repair disk I think stuff like this How to Reset Your Forgotten Password in Windows 10[^] could possibly work - but might be a pain to follow on a phone.

It is fixed. I brought it into the shop where I bought it from. I am not sure what they did, but they managed to save all my data. And it only cost me $30. All in all I got off lucky.

Good luck with that. IIRC W10 OEM defaults to encrypting the HDD/SSD. If that's the case I'm not sure yank and fiddle will do you any good.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Have you tried turning it off and on again? I am referring to your fingers.

So, wasted $15 and 2 hours on this festering pile of excrement.
Amy Adams: is she a professional actress? Doubt it on this showing.
Jeremy Renner: Hawkeye with glasses.
Forest Whitaker: shouty military man.
The rest: who cares.
On the face of it, the story should be interesting. As a short story it works. As a long, tedious and very boring film that does not deliver on early promises, it does not.
I think this is one of those cases where not everything translates to the screen. Yes, the special effects were ok and the depiction of the aliens interesting; it simply did not entertain or provoke thoughts over and above "is it over yet?"
The guy sitting next to me said at the end "Do we have to wait for the sequel before it gets interesting?"

What? Did you want more explosions, death rays, buildings being destroyed on mass by gigantic aliens spaceships? Watch Independence Day II for all that rubbish!

Did I say that? No, I did not. ID was rubbish but at least it was fun. This was turgid. Not every story makes a good film.

I just came across this Twitter account: The Expert Beginner (@ExpertBeginner1) | Twitter[^]
"It sounds like a bad idea to you? Let me repeat myself more angrily until it doesn't."
"Why don't they offer minification for C#?"
"How do I know I'm right? My 25 years of experience to your 5, that's how."
"It's only a bug if someone's angry."
There's some good, and unfortunately recognizable, stuff on there

What's the name of the code gen tool I use? It's called "junior developers."
Ooh, that hits home, and is one of the reasons I gave my notice last week.

Was reading the book he mentions in his bio.
Quote: In The Expert Beginner, Dietrich traces the path of this programmer from rise to inevitable downfall. The author describes the development of the expert beginner’s mindset, explaining how one might believe in the achievement of total mastery while faced with evidence to the contrary. He then shows how, if put in a position of power, this person will poison entire software groups and create a culture of stagnation. Would love to know who inspired this book
