Windows 10 Boot Loop after Automatic Update - Password not accepted
Woke this morning to my laptop in some sort of recovery mode after a Automatic Windows Update. Most of the options I'm interested in (Command Prompt, Safe Mode, etc) require authentication.
My account is the only one that appears. I select it, but my password isn't accepted. The password prompt shows my Microsoft Live email address and so I am assuming the password being requested is for the Live account - and I definitely know what that password is, but it I keep being told the password is not correct.
I have Grub installed which allows me to boot either Ubuntu or Windows 10 Professional (Default). I'm able to boot Ubuntu as expected.
I had been using a PIN to log into Windows ... The Windows 10 boot goes directly to recovery mode where I seem to be DOA because the password is needed.
Is there any way to recover Windows local password or somehow get into my account again?
