Windows 10: HP Notebook windows 10 displayed enter password but not set up for password then stuck in...

My boyfriends HP Notebook windows 10 displayed enter password when he started it but he does not use a password and had not set it up for password. He tried to reboot it then stuck in loop would not open just the swirly arrow he said for a long time. He then proceeded to hit F11 repeatedly and a bunch of other function buttons and it put him into system recovery mode - except he never set a recovery point. Now he got it to the system repair screen where it is stuck - any suggestions on what happened or how to fix it? He has only had it about 6 months or less. Is this an update issue? He said it did not display anything about updates but another one was just released????
