An important note from the docs about Emergency Mode:

On Windows systems, the user must be a member of the Administrators group.
On UNIX® and MacOS systems, the user must be root or the owner of the instance.

If you try to run Emergency Mode without these privileges, you may get an error on startup that may not sound like a permissions problem, but it really is. If you're running Windows, make sure to run cmd as Administrator.
