    Can't type in pin box. Have restarted . Still can't Password I can type in


    I just received my new HP laptop. When I signed in it was difficult to type in pin. I finally got it in and used it once. Now I can't sign in with it. Have to use my password. I would rather have no password or pin as this is my home computer and never leaves my home.


    Brand new what do I do?

    :)

    Win10 on Laptop - Can't type my password/PIN in Log-in box


    A couple of times in the past week, when I started my Laptop (a Dell Latitude E6400) with Win 10 build 10166, the login screen/page comes up (shows my Picture, name and has a place to enter my PIN) but I can't select the box to enter the PIN.

    I can move/see the mouse pointer but can't select anything. I can use the arrow keys to switch between the Lock screen and Login screen - but that's it. Can't access the power/restart icon or anything.

    I have to hold the power button and force a restart. Today I already tried 3 restarts (cold boots) and I still can't get to where I can enter my PIN. This is on a Microsoft Account (not local account).

    Has anyone else seen this behavior?


    EDIT: I'm back in. I noticed that when WIN works correctly, the password/PIN box is highlighted so you can just type in your info without actually selecting the box. When WIN is misbehaving, the password/PIN box is not highlighted.
    I ran Chkdsk /f just now and that didn't find any problems. I'll run SFC scannow next.

    What was the actual fix? i'm having the exact same problem on a laptop as well, really tough one to crack. Would like to avoid a system reset.
