    Can't Login - Password Gets Mangled - Not CAPS Lock


    Hi folks!

    I need a had with an issue I've run into several times now. I've been working around it with System Restore but I'd like to know the real answer. This is in regards to Windows 10 any version.

    I had someone remotely log into my computer with a 3rd party app and whenever I typed something it would not come out right. The letters would not be correct. System restore fixed that but I never knew the real answer.

    Today I was over at my Mom's and she had cleaned the screen on the computer and the keyboard, but....it was ON when she did it. Now she can't log-in. I typed in her correct password and then looked at what was typed. It was not the same. Some of the letters were incorrect. Same issue. In her case, system restore is turned off. So I can't use that to work around the issue.

    What causes this issue? I checked the language settings and they were correct. It's as if the keyboard has been changed or something. Is there some hotkey combination that changes the keyboard? Please help!

    Best & Thanks!

    :)

    Unable to take caps off at login screen only

    Thank you for your response.

    Method 1: Tap on Shift key.

    The alternate to Caps Lock key is the Shift
    key which might be causing this issue. In the login page, press and hold the Shift key for 8 seconds and then try to enter the password. This option will turn off the Caps lock key
    behavior.



    Method 2: Change the Cap lock key settings.


    This behavior can occur when the option Shift key is selected to turn on the Caps lock key. To change these settings, follow the steps given below:

    1. Go to Windows Settings.
    2. Click on Devices.
    3. Now, click on the Typing on the left plane.
    4. Scroll down and click on Advance Keyboard Settings in the right pane.
    5. Click on Language bar Options.
    6. Click on Advanced key tab.
    7. Select the option: Press the CAP’s lock.
    8. Click on Apply and Ok. Now, lock the system and try to sign in again.

    We await your response.

    My caps lock won t turn off

    Hi Sally,

    For us to isolate the issue about being unable to turn off Caps lock, kindly respond to the questions below:

    • If you press the Caps Lock button on your keyboard, does it turn off the Caps Lock?
    • You mentioned that you are using Word, may we know if the issue is within Word only or the issue persists in using another typing application (i.e. Notepad)?

    We look forward to your response.
