Windows 10: Cannot type PIN into User Account Control

Suddenly every time I go to do something Windows 11, the User Account Control Window appears asking for a PIN, but I cannot actually type in the PIN. I've tried more than one keyboard and they all work fine otherwise anyway. Have only recently begun using Windows 11.

User Account Control in Windows 10

Hi,

Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Community.

I would suggest you to check if you can access Safe mode and go to the elevated command prompt from there.

To go to Safe mode follow the steps below:

a. Click on Windows key, and in the Power Options
click on Restart while pressing the shift key.

b. A blue screen will appear with a few options.

Click on Troubleshoot > Advanced Settings >
Startup Settings > Restart.

c. Your system will automatically restart, press relevant keys to go to the Safe Mode with Command prompt.

Once you have access to Elevated Command prompt, follow the steps:

1. Type "net user administrator /active:yes" and click
Enter.

You will get a message stating that "The Command completed successfully"

2. Go to the normal mode now and sign in from the administrator account.

3. Give administrator privileges to your new account by following the steps:

• Press Windows key and type Control. Click on Control Panel from the list of options.
• Click on User Account > Manage another account.
• Select the appropriate user account you want to give administrator rights to and then click on
  Change account type.
• Follow the on-screen instructions.

Hope this helps. Please respond if you have further related queries.

Regards,
