A) Type in the password for the selected administrator account, and click on Continue. (see screenshot below)
NOTE: If you need to change the keyboard layout (language), then do so before entering your password so it will be the same language that the password was set in and match.

4. Startup repair will now start searching for problems, and attempt to automatically repair them. (see screenshot below)
NOTE: Automatic Repair might prompt you to make choices as it tries to fix the problem, and if necessary, it might restart your computer as it makes repairs.

5. If startup repair could not find problems or repair your computer, then either click on Restart to continue to start Windows 8, or click on Advanced options to go back to step 1. 
NOTE:Sometimes it may take to run Automatic repair 3 times to fix the startup issue.
