Win98 safe mode disabled

Despite all apparent knowledge and authority that I can
find on the subject, safe mode has been disabled.

I am working with a PC which was originally setup to login
to a domain, but I don't have other PC's with Server
OS's. The most I can get set up is a peer-to-peer
network. It has many administrative restrictions
(presumably in the registry), the worst of which appears
to be the disabling of safe mode.

I have found every tutorial and how to article on the
subject of safe mode, which usually have about 4 methods
to entering it, and none have any effect.
Does anyone know how this could happen or how I can turn
it off?

My problem is that I cannot get past the Microsoft
Networking login screen. So, I need safe mode to go in
and change the login client to windows login or something
nice and accessible like that.

Did you try clicking the cancel button?

You need to add BootKeys=1 to the msdos.sys file, if you
can get at it. This will enable you to press f8 at start-
up and choose safe mode. Try booting to a floppy disc -
attrib -h -r c:\msdos sys - edit c:\msdos.sys - save
it - attrib +h +r c:\msdos.sys
