Windows 10: Windows login screen will not accept a normal character from the alphabet a-z

Hi all,


maybe this post will help someone who has the same problem:


I locked my Windows 10 Enterprise and later wanted to login back.


I typed in my password but it was always saying that the password is wrong... Until I noticed something:


Problem:

The password field in the login screen did not accept one character from my keyboards.

It was not a special character, just a normal one from the alphabet a-z in small case, so i did not use "shift" or "caps lock".


Hardware:

- German keyboard via USB (logitech)

- German keyboard on laptop (Lenevo Thinkpad T480)


What I tried:

- disconnect the USB keyboard, re-plug it.

- disconnect the USB keyboard, only used laptop keyboard.

- disconnect everything from the laptop and go to a colleague and showed him the bug on the laptop keyboard
- nothing helped...


Solution (kind of):

- go a second colleague who was further away and show him the bug but suddenly the character was recognized again and no more bug

- so maybe you just have to wait 1 minute and then check if the character will get accepted again


PS: I did not checked all characters on the keyboard but the one I needed was not send to the password field. I also did not try the on-screen keyboard.

:)

 

Dialler alphabetic characters

I've got a simple query about the dialler on my 5800 Express Music phone. How come there aren't any alphabetical characters displayed on the numbers, or an option to display them, (such as, 1 - abc, etc) on the dialler... but there are on the alphanumeric
pad? It would be helpful to have alphabetical characters displayed on the dialler because when I phone my mobile phone company I am requested to enter certain characters from my password.



Thanks
