    Unable to type my password using letters at the log-in screen. I tried restarting, shutting down, the troubleshooting trick where you hold shift while left-clicking restart, I've even tried resetting the pc to where it uninstalled Windows and then installed it again. The keyboard itself isn't an issue. I just received both this pc and keyboard together yesterday. Both are new. The keyboard itself works. I tried it last night and even when it says, "You've entered an incorrect PIN several times. To try again, enter A1B2C3 below" I'm able to type letters there.

    :)

    Can't type in PIN number when logging back in to Lock Screen

    Hi everyone, occasionally when I return to my pc and want to log back in, I am not able to type any letters. I click into the log-in box but no characters are typed in. Whether it is the PIN or Password screen, no characters appear. To be clear, it does not do it every time, mostly I can log back in no problem.

    Can anyone suggest a remedy? Many thanks, Chig.

    unable to deactivate Windows log-on password

    Hi HearaldPenkert,

    I suggest trying with this steps:

    • Swipe in from the right edge of the screen, and then tap Search.

      (If you're using a mouse, point to the lower-right corner of the screen, move the mouse pointer up, and then click Search.)
    • Enter sign, and then tap or click Change sign-in options.
    • Choose the sign-in option you'd like to use, and then follow the instructions.

    If you're using a local account with a password, you can delete the password to sign in without one. Try this steps:

    • Swipe in from the right edge of the screen, and then tap Search.

      (If you're using a mouse, point to the lower-right corner of the screen, move the mouse pointer up, and then click Search.)
    • Enter sign, and then tap or click Sign-in options.
    • Under Password, tap or click Change.
    • Verify the current password for your local account.
    • Leave the New password, Reenter password, and Password hint fields blank, tap or click Next, and then tap or click Finish.
    I hope it will solve your issue.

    Bye
