    Windows 11 - can't enter a password to login


    Hello, I have just bought a new PC. It booted up perfect first time and I setup my account. Now, after boot up, I click on "sign in" and it doesn't let me enter a password. There are no other options to choose. When I click "sign in" it briefly says 'New User' then the screen goes blank. If I click, I can choose "sign in" again, but the same thing happens - very much a loop / going around in circles. Please help. Thanks.

    :)

    No login password craziness

    Brink, that was the missing step. What threw me off was in netplwiz, where it asks about password for my MS account, the user name was not the same as my MS account name. Once I entered the password (twice) I can now login without entering a password. In fact the name that was listed was not the MS account name, but a folder name. The folder is the one that shows when you click on C:\Users.
    Thanks for the help.

    Not able to login to Windows 10 when entering the password into it.

    Hi Linda,


    Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Community.



    To assist you better, please provide us the below information:

    • Are trying to login as Microsoft Account or Local Account?
    • Were you able to upgrade to Windows 10 successfully and not able to login to Windows 10?
    • Have you tried to check with different keyboard?

    I suggest you to try to enter the password using On-Screen Keyboard and check if it helps.

    1. When at login page, click on Ease of Access which is available at the bottom right corner of the screen.

    2. Then click on On-Screen Keyboard.

    3. Try to enter the correct password and check if you are able to login to the computer.



    Reply to us with the information, so that we can assist you better.

    Let us know if you need any further assistance on Windows related issues and we will be glad to help.
