CompTIA A+ Core 2 (220-1102) — Question 279

While trying to repair a Windows 10 OS, a technician receives a prompt asking for a key. The technician tries the administrator password, but it is rejected. Which of the following does the technician need in order to continue the OS repair?

Answer options

• A. SSL key
• B. Preshared key
• C. WPA2 key
• D. Recovery key

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The technician needs the Recovery key to continue the OS repair, as it specifically allows access to the system's recovery options. The other options, such as SSL key, Preshared key, and WPA2 key, are related to encryption and network security but do not assist in repairing the operating system.
