Windows 10: Issue: Can't access password field on Windows 11

An hour ago, I started my laptop. It directly opened Password screen without showing time. I ignored it. Now, an hour passed and I still can't enter my password. It is saying,"The password is incorrect. Try again." When I press 'Enter' to enter the password again,the password input is disappearing before I could type anything!like in a second it is again saying "The password is incorrect. Try again." This is happening continuously and I can't access the password input!

:)

 

When typing in password I get half way through then the password field fills randomly on its own not letting me enter correct password.

Hi Stephen,



I suggest you to force restart the computer and try to enter the password, check whether the issue persists or not.

This issue might occur if you press any key by mistake continuously it fills the password field if there is issue with the keyboard.

So determine the issue, I suggest you to use the ‘Onscreen keyboard’ and try to enter the password and check if it helps.

• Press Windows + U and select the On-Screen Keyboard from the Ease of Access
  list. Or click on Ease of Access at bottom right and select
  On-Screen Keyboard from the list.
• Then use you cursor to type the password with On-Screen Keyboard.
• Before clicking the login, press the eye symbol (I.e. Reveal Password) option in the password field, to see the password is correct.

Please get back to us with an update on this issue, we will be happy to assist you further.

Thank you

 

Lost My Administrator Password

To which "this" are you referring?
- If you are following the tutorial Bree suggested in the very first reply to your question then what you need to do at each step is explained in detail. So which step are you at?
- If you are following a different procedure then state what it is and which step you are at. If, for example, you are trying to manually enable the Built-In Admin as suggested in post #11 then that account has no password.
