Windows 10: Unable to log in

After booting up i am unable to login as the input box for the password or pin does not show, simply unfocussed the background image. I have attempted to do an automatic repair but nothing happens. Booting to Safe Mode has the same problem as booting normally. Computer does not allow a reset in any form. Computer is a Dell Inspiron 15 and is at least five years old.
