    password login at startup


    I have a HP laptop and when I turn it on it starts normal until it comes to the part where I need to put my password in and only the letter i and a few numbers and the space bar work. I have to click on the forgot password and when I do that all my keyboard works again but I have to reset my password. Can I just remove the password on startup option or is there more of a problem than that

    :)

    Password issue

    After going through the steps to make a new password, after a week or two, my login credentials are no longer valid. I'm forced to make a new password all over again. It seems to happen if I don't login in a certain period of time. Does our passwords expire???

    At startup, no password or login prompt


    At Windows startup a login prompt with a password box, user account picture or name does not appear. All i see is my screen saver background. I found a temporary fix which is restarting my computer, then and only then can i type in my password to access my computer. The issue also happens if i put it to sleep, or hibernate, also have to restart computer. Any suggestion would be appreciated.

    At startup, no password or login prompt


    @Stranded360

    It may be an issue with Fast Startup. At an Admin command prompt, type (copy/paste this), and press enter.


    powercfg -h off

    Reboot.

    This will turn off Fast Startup and disable hibernation. You will still be able to Sleep the machine.

    Without more info, this is just a good guess since there are issues with Fast Startup and logon, etc.

    You can reverse this by powercfg -h on

    Worth a shot.
