Password box missing

Question

My password box is missing in my sign in page. I dont have any updates that might cause the issue and it suddenly got this problem. I cant type on it since its gone. I dont have a PIN that can alternately sign me in only password. I shutdown the computer and let it rest but no help at all.

Answer 1

If the "Sign-in options" link is unavailable on the login screen, then perform the steps in this article (pls ignore the title) to re-enable password-based sign-in again.

Answer 2

Hi marques6stes-

I'm Kevin B. Windows user like you. I do apologize for the inconvenience, let me help you sort things out.

Boot your computer in safemode. Safemode is a windows environment used to troubleshoot, diagnose and repair corrupted windows system files. While computer is in safemode, no 3rd party application will run, not even your anti-virus, and selected services needed by windows to boot are the only running service on the computer. This ensures us that the computer will only use applications and services at a minimal level to avoid 3rd party conflicting application and services.

Please click on the link below and follow the steps in booting your computer in safemode.

Kindly check if you can sign in to safe mode. If so, restart your computer normally and see if it will you be able to sign in to your normal desktop.

Please let me know what will happen. Hope this will help and have a blessed day!

Thanks,

Kevin B.
