Vista Password Problem

[trader5960]

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.

Hello Trader,


For User type in Administrator

For Password leave it Blank

Try and see if you can enter.

Other options would be to call Windows Vista Support, but that might cost
some money.

Good Luck!

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.
