password not accepted after that laptop wakes from sleep

When my laptop is on battery power and idle for a while, it goes into sleep mode. When I want to start working again, Windows does not accept my password. I need to change username, then click on my profile (which displays LOCKED) and only then Windows accept my password.

After doing a search on the net, I see other Windows 7 users have the same problem...

Hi Sean, the problem may be that the NumLock key is on in your profile.

Try this.  Hit the key Windows and r and type regedit and click ok.  Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Keyboard and locate the InitialKeyboardIndicators value.  DoubleClick on it and change the value from 2 to 0.  Click ok and restart.

Let us know if this helped.

  • Fallout 3 stops working after the computer wakes from sleep

    Since the games for Windows Live 3 is out, Fallout 3 has never been the same. He used to work at best my GfWL and now her nightmare. Recently, after that I quit the game and put my computer to sleep, Fallout 3 will stop working completely after wake up. I try to start it and I get them all is a cursor with a small blue rotating light. What is even more strange, is that my computer goes into a State of semi who no longer meet this point where programs and keyboard shortcuts no longer work, but I can browse my hard drive. I try control + SHIFT + ESC to see what the devil but that causes Windows Explorer to stop working. CTRL + Alt + Delete does not work either. No matter what I try, once I start Fallout 3 after the computer wakes from sleep, I can't do the task to the top manager and I can't use my computer. The only way to get it is to hit the reset button or turn off manually. Can someone please help to get rid of this problem?

    Hi murphy449,

    1. did you of recent changes on the computer?

    2. the problem only happens when you start fallout 3 after the sleep mode?

    3. are you able to wake the computer quits successfully sleep mode?

    4. What is the version of Windows installed on the computer?

    Method 1

    I suggest that you manually download and install the latest drivers for display on the computer card and check if it works.

    Updated a hardware driver that is not working properly

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/update-a-driver-for-hardware-that-isn ' t-work correctly

    Method 2

    If the previous step fails then I suggest that you try the clean boot procedure to check whether a third-party program installed on the computer is causing the problem.

    To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows Vista or Windows 7 by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

    See the link below to learn more about how to clean boot.

    Reset the computer to start as usual

    When you are finished troubleshooting, follow these steps to reset the computer to start as usual:

    (a) click Start, type msconfig in the search box and press ENTER.

    (b) If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type your password or click on continue.

    (c) under the general tab, click the Normal startup option, and then click OK.

    (d) when you are prompted to restart the computer, click on restart.

    If the previous step fails then I suggest you check the observer after return with details and events for the cause.

    What are the information contained in the logs of the event (Event Viewer)?

  • The password on the computer is not recognized after resuming the computer from sleep mode.

    Original title: windows password problem

    This just started today. When I log on to the computer after having paused, it says that my password is incorrect. Caps lock is disabled and the password. Then I hard boot my computer & it will take my password. What's happening & how to fix it? Help please.

    What do I do or what can I change it to something like a real password?

    Now that you have at least a password that works you must run your own experiences. You might have a problem with CapsLock, NumLock or a few keys that misbehaves. Change a letter/digit at a time until the password fails, you must point in the right direction. We cannot do this for you.

  • Often fingerprint reader stops working after laptop wakes from sleep (Pavilion dv6)

    I am convinced that the fingerprint reader is fine. There must be a problem with the driver may, something inconsistent with a recent update of the Windows 7 software?

    The scenario:

    • Laptop works very well.  I put on standby when I'm done and use the mousepad to wake him up.  LED fingerprint reader blinks, and I can drag my finger to log on.
    • At one point, after a few times to put the laptop to sleep and wake, the fingerprint reader does not.  No flashing.  I slide my finger and the player does not respond at all - is not yet tell me that there was a bad reading.
    • If I login and log back in again, no change. However, if I do a reboot, everything is fine - the fingerprint reader works again.

    I watched over and over again for new drivers and installed.  Nothing seems to affect this scenario.   Unfortunately, this has started to happen about 9 months ago () and because of the sporadic nature of it, I was not attentive enough to know the 'precise' point in time when it started happening.  My instincts tell me that there was some sort of update software/driver along the way which is originally the fingerprint reader not do not work right.  I hope HP continues a relationship with these companies to fingerprint reader and can transmit these questions so that we can do a software update.  But... I don't know if it has been abandoned.  My laptop is still under warranty, but it would be ridiculous to send in just this problem.

    I hope that someone has heard of this on the dv6 and may know a solution.  Thank you!

    My system is a HP dv6-6145dx.  I am running Windows 7, with the latest updates.  The integrated fingerprint reader works on HP Simple pass 2011 v5.1 and Validity Sensor driver 4.3.205.0 version.  When I try to launch the Simple passage interface, it loads the database, but then the application disappears.  I tried to uninstall and reinstall the software, but makes no difference with the issue, I noted.

    "If you keep an open mind, life will give you more opportunities."

    No problem, I am completely I shouldn't bother with Pass Simple version 8.  I advanced and installed version 6.  I did not yet get no joy, so I did a little more digging and found one more late Validity Sensor driver, version 4.3.304 (not noted in the list of update driver for my laptop model).  IT WORKED.  I can now go into hibernation and the fingerprint reader remains functional when the system is out of hibernation.  Previously, it was pretty much guaranteed became disabled.  So... it looks that my problem is now solved.

  • Satellite A100 - BIOS password not accepted after computer take part

    (Sorry if this question has been asked before, I searched through topics, but too many subjects was found.)

    I have an old A100 for 3 years with no guarantee. I want to sell it so I took apart to clean dust. Everything for the motherboard. When everything has been cleaned and I reinstalled everything, I turned it on and the password of the BIOS has not been accepted. I know the password and it's OK to 100% and shift lock is not locked on.

    Is it possible that the keyboard flat cable has been installed wrongly, the cable was - a.f.a.i.k - reinstalled right, because there is only one way to insert into the slot on the motherboard. (Sorry for my bad English)

    Or BIOS confused and handed over to zero in some Toshiba service password? Is this possible?

    The caps lock is locking itself led of lights up and can not turn off with the CAPS LOCK key.

    What is the solution?

    > Is it possible that the keyboard flat cable has been installed wrongly,
    Connect the keyboard external usb to check (this is good if you remove the internal keyboard when checking)

    > Or BIOS confused and handed over to zero in some Toshiba service password? Is this possible?
    No, it is impossible that this password has been reset. In any case, I've never heard

    Fingerprint reader works fine when the computer starts. The drive works fine if I manually lock the system. When the computer enters mode "sleep" through inactivity, then wakes up from his sleep, the fingerprint reader does not work. The player power led does not illuminate, the player does nothing if I drag a registered fingerprint. I must select use authentication information and enter the Windows password.

  • Sound glitches after the computer wakes from sleep or Hibernation

    When I first turn on my computer, sound works fine, but after standby or hibernation there is odd audio 'glitches' each time there is a spike in CPU activity. The seeds just sounds like small clicks and pop, but I find them very noticeable. They are triggered by things as simple as loading a page in a web browser (which reached only ~ 30% CPU usage on my computer).

    Here's what I discovered by just my own tests:

    * Happens in programs that use DirectSound and WaveOut. (I think almost all programs use DirectSound, right?)

    Programs that use his alternative such as the ASIO API are not affected. I've tested it using foobar2000.

    * When recording my sound output using Audacity, clicks and POPs are included in the record. (I can download it somewhere if you want to hear exactly the kind of glitches that I'm talking about).

    These facts lead me to believe that the program exists somewhere in the code of Windows Audio (ie. not a hardware or driver problem).

    A few things here that I tried to solve the problem:

    To restart the "Windows Audio" service.

    Stop service "Windows Audio", go to sleep, wake up, start the service 'Windows' Audio.

    * Updated my audio drivers

    Using the default windows audio drivers

    The seeds still exist when I try these. The only thing that solves the problem is to restart the computer.

    The most obvious permanent solution to this problem is simply not to use mode 'sleep', but I should be able to use the "sleep" without these problems. I hope just this problem is fixable by me, because after all, I lived in an attempt to solve this problem, I'm afraid that nothing will work.

    OS: Windows 7 Ultimate x 64

    Sound: Realtek ALC662 HD Audio

    Thanks for the reply again, Umesh. Updating drivers did not work, but I managed to solve the problem.

    In my original post, I said sound glitched whenever there was a CPU usage, but today, I realized that it was actually using the network causing glitches. I updated the driver for my network card and now the problem is gone! I don't know what was going on, but at least it works now!
