What should I do if Windows 11 locks up after startup and I can't log in?

After starting up, the computer goes directly to the lock screen, and entering the password is ineffective. How can I restore login or bypass the lock?

    Click the accessibility icon on the login screen and select the on-screen keyboard to rule out keyboard issues.

    Your issue where the computer goes directly to the lock screen and entering your password doesn't unlock it can be caused by several factors, such as system glitches, user account issues, or misconfigured settings.
