All of a sudden today my touch bar stopped showing at the top. The buttons still work but I cannot see anything. I have tried restarting my computer, turning the control bar off and on, reinstalling my iOS, and running first aid.
It seems like the problem might be hardware. I recommend contacting Apple Support to see if they can help with the issue. If you want, you can run a diagnostic test to see if it is hardware or software. For Apple Support: https://getsupport.apple.com. For diagnostic test: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202731.

If the Touch Bar didn't turn back on after you have entered the password, then try resetting the SMC at this link: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201295
The SMC might fix the issue if it's related to software.
Hello!
Does the control bar at the top show up when you hover you cursor or it? It's unusual for it to completely disappear and might be because of System Preferences. Also, is the control bar the menu bar (with the WiFi and battery icon) or the Touch Bar?
Try to restart the Touch Bar. Go to the Terminal app, and enter the command (you can copy and paste the following):
sudo pkill TouchBarServer;
sudo killall "ControlStrip";
Then press enter. See if this fixes the problem.
Sorry touch bar is the better word!
It says Password but I can't type anything
When typing the password, Terminal doesn't usually display the characters. So when it asks for password, just type it, and then press enter.
Should it have turned the touch bar on? Nothing happened so far?
I tried that as well and it didn’t work. Any other ideas?
