| | Cannot Enter A Password On Logon Screen I have recently set a password for my administrator account because some relatives were coming over and i didnt want them to muck around with computer. I then tried logging on and i cannot enter my password. It displays a picture of a chessboard and the word administrator underneath. it then has the word password in smaller letters below and a little to the left. when i move the cursor around the screen it changes from an arrow point to a hand around the picture. I have tried clicking on there but no box opens for me to enter my password. If anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated. Regards Andrew |
