How to get out of Hibernating mode?

[Theresa]

I'm currently working with Windows Vista and some how my laptop went into
hibernating mode. I've tried everything to get out of it and nothing seems
to work. The blue rotating circle is still rotating, which is probably a
good sign.

Please I need your HELP

Restart, and press F8 during the 'black screen' right after the BIOS screen.
The menu will let you start normally

When I restart, and press F8 during the black screen it jumps right to the
Hibernating screen. Do you have any other suggestions?

Press the power key for longer. You may not actually be shutting down.
Press and hold for 10 - 15 seconds.

No, The Safe Mode menu appears when you press F8 early enough.
