Windows 10: Sign in box is not allowing any PIN to be entered

I turned on my computer and tried to enter my PIN but nothing showed up in the PIN box. I tied shutting down and back up again but that didn't work either. I don't remember if I changed any settings when I was last on the computer? Now what should I do.
