That's a common occurrence. At the Welcome Screen just do Ctrl-Alt-Del
twice and you'll get the classic logon screen where you can type in
your account name and password.

If nothing happens when you try to start the built-in Administrator
account, you have some serious issues with the machine that need to be
addressed. If you have/had viruses and/or malware, that could be the
reason that Administrator is disabled.
