If you are having trouble with the control number I would first try leaving the box blank.
The IRS is not concerned with the control number, it is a number large payroll companies use to identify W2s.
If you get errors with the blank box, just enter any number in this format: 5 digits, space, 5 digits (for example, 12345 67890).
