I have a google cloud server with windows installed on it, yesterday I rebooted it into safe mode but I forgot to check "networking" option and now I cant connect to it. How can I exit from safe mode from google console? thanks

1Usually Windows starts the normal mode by default if no error occurred on the previous startup. I'd just try to reboot the machine. – Gerald Schneider Apr 13 '18 at 09:26

You can enable the serial port console of your instance with this command in the cloud shell:
$ gcloud compute instances add-metadata [INSTANCE_NAME]
--metadata=serial-port-enable=1
Then after connect to your instance from the serial port:
$ gcloud compute connect-to-serial-port [INSTANCE_NAME] --port=2
After you enter the windows SAC, you can enter to a CMD session, it prompts you to use your user and password:
cmd
ch -sn cmd0001
In case you forgot the password,you can generate a new one;
$ gcloud beta compute reset-windows-password [INSTANCE-NAME]
Once inside you can stop the safe mode boot and log normal launching:
bcdedit /deletevalue {default} safeboot
And finaly shutdown/start your instance.
