how do I re-boot in safe mode in Windows 8?

I cannot find method to do so, & the black screen will not appear, even after I unplug the power. I need to do this so the rKill I installed will run. At least that's what I was lead to believe.

    The "Black Screen" is a NORMAL function of W8 & 8.1 when configuring NEW programs or updates.

    Locate your HDD light → if it's steady on or blinking then leave it be to configure the new software. Windows displays the Login Screen once configured.

    To get to the recovery console → boot to the login screen → hold the SHIFT key & click RESTART.

    Once the system restarts you will be in the Recovery Console

    Start, Run msconfig, OK. Click on Boot, check Safe boot, Apply, OK. Then reboot.

    To return to normal, run msconfig and click Normal startup, Apply, OK. Then reboot.
