It is possible to permanently lock\nyourself out of the operating system if you begin with a Microsoft\naccount and migrate this to a local account. Further, you won''t be able\nto rescue the system since *it is impossible to enter the BIOS setup in\nthe machine''s default state if you cannot login to Windows*.\n\nTo fix this:\n\n1. Disable \"fast boot\" mode in Windows 8. You can do this in \"Power\n Settings\". If you don''t do this, you can''t modify the Windows disk\n partition when booting from a recovery USB.\n2. [Update your\n BIOS](https://download.lenovo.com/consumer/mobiles/62cn97ww_64.exe).\n Do it now or you won''t be able to unless you can still login to\n Windows 8.\n3. Go into the BIOS (shutdown the machine then press the small button\n next to the power button and select \"BIOS setup\"). Then, set an\n administrator password in the BIOS settings. Then, \"disable secure\n boot\". This will allow you to boot from a recovery USB stick such as\n Kali or Ubuntu.\n\nUrgh. A Catch-22 where Microsoft Windows corrupted a login (thanks,\nMicrosoft) and a hardware defect stops you booting into a recovery\nmedium (thanks, Lenovo).\n\n[An important note if you have a Lenovo\nG580](https://eve.gd/2017/05/07/an-important-note-if-you-have-a-lenovo-g580/)\nwas originally published by Martin Paul Eve at [Martin Paul\nEve](https://eve.gd) on May 07, 2017.\n","doi":"https://doi.org/10.59348/dmq66-f5d26","guid":"https://eve.gd/2017/05/07/an-important-note-if-you-have-a-lenovo-g580","id":"01a92f9a-f8e0-442b-86e2-11530d9d5635","image":null,"indexed_at":1696162656,"language":"en","published_at":1494172558,"reference":[],"relationships":[],"summary":"The Lenovo G580 comes with Windows 8.
