Please read Use safe mode to isolate issues with your Mac - Apple Support.
There are options for "if your Mac doesn't have a keyboard to start up in safe mode or if you can't use the Shift key" or if your Mac is protected with a firmware password.
What happens when you try? Give details.
I think changed
Are you completely shutting down your machine, and then rebooting from a cold start when you hit the "Shfit" key? Or are you choosing "Restart" from the "Apple" menu, and then hitting the "Shift" key as your Mac restarts? I have found that sometimes just this little thing makes a difference if I want to boot into Safe Mode, or Recover Mode, or choose a different startup drive with the Option key. In other words, a complete shutdown first is sometimes necessary and tends to work better in my experience. Also, another minor point: Are you holding down the "Shift" key until the Apple logo appears on your screen?
Thanks. Perhaps this will work, What Unix commands?
Thank you for your interest.
I did it your way. Thanks
Well, did it work? :)
No.
Wow . . . sorry to hear that, my friend.
Have you tried all of the usual stuff:
