Hi Folks,
I recently got a new laptop at work (A Lenovo x60). I installed WinXP Pro,
and everything seemed to be OK for a while. However, after a few weeks, the
laptop developed this quirk.
If I lock the computer, and attempt to unlock the computer, the first time I
attempt to enter my password, it is rejected. The second time, it works fine.
(Very rarely it goes to three, but I think these might just be typos.)
This happens almost all of the time. If the time between logout and login is
very short (less than a minute) then the problem does not occur. If I put the
machine in standby, or walk away for a few minutes, I will always have to
enter my password twice. Sometimes the time to verify the password is very
long (around 60 seconds) which leaves me twiddling my thumbs until I can try
again.
I'm using the wireless connection exclusively. The problem occurs whether
I'm in range of my corporate network, or if I'm at home.
Any ideas what might be happening?
Thanks for any help in advance,
- Dave
You may think the pointer is active inside the textbox and you type the
password which infact the textbox not active and not ready for the password
to be typed.
Try to wait as JS mentioned and see if it will be accepted from the first
instance of typing it in.
Does the Keyboard clean from crumbs and dust?
What happen if you created another account and use a password for it, does
it do the same?
HTH,
