Hello all, as the title reads I am stuck in safe mode.
Some background info:
The PC stuck in safe mode is a company computer. I have some administrative access over this machine, but not fully. Windows login requires a connection to our corporate internet.
I enabled safe boot in msconfig for purpose of moving a folder the system had locked. The problem is, I forgot to enable networking in the safe boot.
So now I am stuck in safe mode, with no way to turn it off, and I cannot log on to the computer because it has, now by default, disabled network access.
UEFI/BIOS has admin password enabled, which I am not privileged with.
Before I take this up the chain of command, is there something I can do to have Windows boot normally? I don't think resetting CMOS would have an effect, but I have not tried that yet.
Any suggestions would be wonderful!
