| | Vista Password Problem I have a Dell desktop with Vista home premium. I setup a password and it has worked very well until today. When I start the system up it completes the boot routine and then come to the password screen. I know the password and when I go to enter it nothing appears in the password field. I can type all I want but no characters show in the password field. When I hit enter/go it says "password incorrect" Thoughts on how I fix this problem. |

| | RE: Vista Password Problem Hello Trader, For User type in Administrator For Password leave it Blank Try and see if you can enter. -=- Go to http://windowshelp.microsoft.com/Win...fd7e51033.mspx -=- Go to http://www.loginrecovery.com/ -=- Go to http://support.microsoft.com/kb/930381/ -=- Go to http://home.eunet.no/~pnordahl/ntpasswd/ Other options would be to call Windows Vista Support, but that might cost some money.

| | RE: Vista Password Problem Tap F8 right at Startup, and see if you can get into Safe Mode by logging in. If you can, do a System restore to when things worked in Dynamic Mode. Start>Programs>Accessories>System tools>System restore. If using Norton, disable it befoe doing the above. -- Mick Murphy - Qld - Australia "trader5960" wrote: Quote: > I have a Dell desktop with Vista home premium.

| Vista Ultimate x64 SP2 | Re: Vista Password Problem Here's a guess: Is the keyboard plugged in? If it's a wireless, time to drag the old plugger out of the closet so you can log on and reconnect. |
