I have tried this and it doesn't work for me. I am still locked out of my computer. It won't let me type in my password. I have tried everything above. Can anyone help me?Kbear said:I had this same problem and came here to find a solution. What the OP was talking about was a frustrating issue where the cursor works[so keypad works] but the box just won't allow you to enter password, cant use any other icon so cant restart, nothing! I'd tried a USB mouse with no effect. I have an asus laptop and this worked for me;
Power off using power button
Hold down Enter and Shift together and keep holding while pressing;
Start using power button.
Opens in a slightly different way and when the Windows screen came up the password box allowed me to enter password as normal. Thankfully. Total fluke! Well....I have my Dad to be grateful to really- he just kept playing with it and has no idea why that worked!Click to expand...

I have the same problem and followed your power/enter/shift deal and I noticed that it powered up different but good. My problem that I have with this is that I can put in my first symbol ok, but then it automatically runs across and shakes like it's adding more dots. The password is only 4 digits/symbols. How do I fix this?
