    Unable to login in deafult account. Password prompt box not appearing


    I have two accounts in windows 10 default & guest. I am unable to log-in in default account after windows update. Whenever start window then in default account option instead of password prompt box, only sign-in option appears. After clicking the sign-in it comes back to previous windowHello page. I am unable to enter inside the default account. However I am able to enter guest account by using password. In guest account I am unable activate 'admin' user. It showing access not permitted.

  2. At startup, no password or login prompt

    At Windows startup a login prompt with a password box, user account picture or name does not appear. All i see is my screen saver background. I found a temporary fix which is restarting my computer, then and only then can i type in my password to access my computer. The issue also happens if i put it to sleep, or hibernate, also have to restart computer. Any suggestion would be appreciated.

    Logoff/Login password prompt

    I do not know what to suggest.

    I just created a local user account with no password, logged out of my normal user account and selected it for login. This is what was displayed.

    I clicked on the SignIn button and went straight through to its Desktop.
    I repeated this logout-login procedure in case its first login had been different but this is how it always appeared.

    The username of the problem account is not Administrator, is it?

    No password login box

    Hi Helen,

    There could be changes made with the settings on your computer that has disabled the option to have users to log in with a username and password. This should be enabled back to get again the login window.

    If you're able to login to your system without using the password, please follow these steps to enable the login window during startup:

    • Right-click the Windows key and select Run.
    • In the Run field, type in control userpasswords2 and hit
      Enter.
    • In the User Accounts dialog box, check the box for Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer.
    • Click Apply, then OK.
    • Restart your computer and see if you're prompted with the login window.

    In case you can't login to your system, please boot your computer in Safe Mode. Check out the link,

    Start your PC in safe mode in Windows 10
    and follow the steps in From the sign-in screen. Once you're in Safe Mode, follow the steps above to enable the password prompt. Once done, restart your computer to go back to normal mode.

    Update us on how it goes so we can assist you further.

    Regards.
