Hi Darell,

To assist you better, please answer the following questions:

• 
  Did you made any changes to the Computer prior to the issue?
  
• 
  What is the make and model of the Computer?
  
• 
  Which Windows 10 build is installed on the system?
  
• 
  Please provide us with a screen shot of the issue. To take a screen shot, follow the below steps:
  

• • Type Snipping Tool in the search box on the taskbar, then select
    Snipping Tool.
  • To take a screenshot with Snipping Tool, select New, then select the part of the screen that you want to capture. Choose from free-form, rectangular, window or full-screen snips by selecting the arrow on the
    New button.
  • After you create the snip, you can save it in the Computer.

I suggest you to check for any pending updates on the system and install the updates if any. You may follow the below steps to check and install the updates.

• 
  Go to Start and then
  Settings.
  
• 
  Click on Update and Recovery.
  
• 
  Check for updates under
  Windows Updates.
  
• 
  Restart the system and check if the issue is resolved.
  

If the issue still persist, you may update the
display Adapters driver and check if the issue still persist. To update the display driver, please follow the below steps:

• 
  Select the Start button, type
  Device Manager, then select it from the list of results.
  
• 
  Expand one of the categories to find the Display Adapters Driver, then right-click (or tap and hold) it, and select
  Update Driver Software.
  
• 
  Select Search automatically for updated driver software.
  
• 
  If Windows doesn’t find a new driver, you can try looking for one on the device manufacturer’s website and follow their instructions.
  

Note: If that does not help, uninstall/reinstall the display driver by following the above steps. To uninstall the display adapter driver, right click on the driver and uninstall it.

Black Dot and Numbers filled up in the password box and the Notepad

Hello,

There are several ways to troubleshoot sign-in issues in Windows 10. Since the system automatically fills out the password box with black dots and already did a few troubleshooting steps, we suggest creating a new user account to see if this issue will occur
on a new user profile. This will help you check if your current user account is corrupted. To do this, simply follow the steps below:

• 
  Select the Start button, then select Settings > Accounts > Family
  & other people > Add someone else to this PC.
  
• 
  Type a user name, password, password hint, and then select Next.
  

Should you have further questions, please let us know.
