Solved Testing Safe Mode & Now Have Useless Surface Tablet

I decided (stupid me) to test Safe Mode so I used MSConfig and checked Safe Mode WITH Network and restarted. Well it restarts at the Set a new PIN page without Network which means I am well and truly stumped. Is there any key combo I can use to force regular startup?

hard power cycle it until it goes to the repair startup (should be 3 times like any other pc), then get to and open command prompt. then run the command to exit safe mode and reboot:
Code:
bcdedit /deletevalue {default} safeboot
