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.

  • What happens when Task Scheduler is scheduled to wake the computer from sleep mode

    I have the windows vista Task Scheduler to wake the computer from sleep to run a command script. some tasks in the script work correctly and some do not. This is because the computer is "awake from sleep", whatever that means. This is not what is happening, because the tasks that the batch script runs when the computer is actually on, with display and all are very different tasks, it runs while the computer gets "awakened from his sleep", so what happens exactly when the task schedler wakes up the computer of mode sleep under vista? How is it possible to emulate a real awake state with the Task Scheduler to a State of sleep, according to a schedule?

  • How can I fix the very slow response after the wake up the computer from sleep mode?

    Never had this problem until a few days ago. Using Windows 7. I want to use the "sleep mode" whenever I leave my office (be it for a few minutes or several hours). Always came back just as I left it (tabs, work-in-progress, etc.) until recently. If I reboot, everything of fine, up to what I use mode "time" again. So painful.

    Thanks for the tip. I disabled the accelerator according to your link and suggestions and the problem seems to have been resolved, at least for now!

  • May not wake my computer from sleep mode

    Hello!

    My computer wake from sleep very well. I stopped to do for awhile; then when I went to do it again, it wouldn't work. I don't know if this problem started; Therefore, I can't really do a restore on any given day.

    When I move the mouse or press the space bar, the computer seems to wake up from sleep - everything seems to work fine (fans, lights, etc...) -only the screen goes black and says he'll sleep because there is no entry for the computer. I push the button to turn off the computer completely the computer. When it restarts and I check for any problem in the event viewer, I can't find anything that might have caused this to happen.

    Windows Vista SP1
    Compaq Presario desktop computer
    2 GB OF RAM

    Here are the things I've tried so far...
    * I am logged - in as administrator of the computer
    * Checked with HP for the BIOS update - I've already been updated later on their Web site.
    * Using various Vista Web site tutorials, I played a bit with Windows power management settings (hibernate, sleep, hybrid, etc...).
    * Look for updates of video card - I already have the updated version.
    * Changed my Avast AV to moy.
    * Uninstalled AVG completely
    * Performed SCANNOW several times the last two weeks - no issue reported
    * A tried to generate a system health report, but I am not able to - see another question that I posted today.

    I've seen suggestions on remove the BIOS battery or reset the BIOS to its default settings, but I did not feel brave enough to do all of this - not found reassuring advice that will not destroy my particular computer: o) I went into the BIOS to have a look at the power management settings , but there was something I could do with them - absolutely nothing on the standby or Hibernate mode or whatever it is.

    THANK YOU for any help! I really appreciate it!
    Sincerely,
    Jenny

    Sure!
    You should be able to go to the Intel website and look for your video chipset.
    From there on, download the appropriate driver. I would put it on my desk as you can delete it when you are finished.

    Once it is downloaded, you should be able to just double-click and install it.

    I'm guessing that you went into the Device Manager. Who will stop you if the drivers are the same version.
    The other way will overwrite the old driver.

    In the worst case, you will need to uninstall the old drivers first and then install a new one.

    Good luck, let us know how it goes. Matt Hudson

  • 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.

  • IdeaPad Y530: windows does not start after that laptop went to sleep mode.

    Hello

    More great frustration in my life have laptop brand new, this for me.

    After that the laptop goes into mode 'sleep', I'm not able to go back to Windows. All light are there and watch as usual, but there is no Lenovo Welcome logo or any other sign of normal behavior. I can turn it off by holding the button market / stop, but when I turn back the problem is still there. Windows does not start.

    I was able to go back to Windows that day after leaving just laptop without any power and battery.

    I called Lenovo and they suggested to disable the standby modes use put into hibernation. I did it. When the screen saver started, something went wrong, computer got froze and I had to restart, but then again, black screen and no reaction.

    Anyone have any ideas?

    Thanks for the reply.

    That's what I end up doing. OnKeyrecover does not work either so what spoke on the phone with Lenovo. Then he is gone now for repair.

  • Problem with Intel (r) C600/79 X series chipset PCI Express Root Port 3 - 1 d 14 wake my computer from sleep mode

    Hello

    (hope this is the right forum for this question)

    I asked on the forums so, called Microsoft and the company that made my computer and no one can give me an answer - I don't know what to do anymore.

    Whenever I put my computer to sleep (remotely or in the menu windows) it automatically wake up after a certain time (various from 5 seconds to 30 minutes) and he does it without doing me anything.

    So far I have tried:

    • BIOS upgrade
    • Updated many drivers
    • Out all my USB and stuff to see if that had nothing to do with it.
    • Anything that might wake my computer without getting so basically (mouse, keyboards, regular stuff etc.) disabled
    • Above all, I was googeling everything that is remotely close to the subject, I'm trying hard and again came away empty-handed.

    As I said in the topic I think that I discovered that the PCI 3 - ID14 express root port is the problem, but then again, what the h *, is that, and I can't for the life of figure me out how to disable.

    My configuration:

    • Windows 7 Professional Service Pack 1
    • 2 monitors (BenQ and Acer)
    • Razer BlackWidow (keyboard)
    • Razer Imperator (mouse)
    • Logitech webcam
    • NVIDIA Geforce GTX 680
    • Intel Core i7-3820
    • Asus P9X79 (motherboard)

    Anyone has any ideas or have had similar problems? I'm so sick of what I think actually just reinstalling EVERYTHING, but that requires a lot of work because I have so many things I need to keep.

    Any help, either, is appreciated.

    Thanks in advance

    Hello

    Thanks for all your efforts, but the problem is now resolved.

    I downloaded manually all the network card drivers that had nothing to do with 'Realtek' or whatever it is. Then suddenly it worked. So I probably installed a correct driver, strange thing is that I update my network card in the past, but it does not solve the problem.

  • T400 - Fn key wake computer from sleep mode.

    It is therefore normal that pressing the Fn key + another key (on the keyboard) - computer wakes from sleep?

    Or something wrong with the operating system?

    In fact, the single Fn key should wake up the machine to sleep/wake.

    Nothing wrong with the operating system.

    Kind regards.

  • Wake up to the problem of the ring - Fax modem does not have wake up reliable PC from sleep mode - how to 100% reliable?

    When my WinXPPro SP3 machine is in sleep/standby/suspend mode (S1 or S3), the fax modem wakes the machine some of the time, but not all the time.  I want to wake up the PC everytime, with 100% reliability.  (When the PC is on, the modem and the machine to receive faxes beautifully.)

    What do you suggest me?

    Modem: Conexant D850 PCI V.92 Modem with the recent update of driver to version 7.67.0.50 (2007-07-03) (but this problem is the same today as before with the 2004 driver version)

    RAM: 2 GB, of which 1.4 GB is usually free
    BIOS: A14
    OS: WinXPPro SP3 with all updates
    AV: Avast free Home

    Fax software: Console MS Fax that comes with WinXPPro SP3
    Printer/Fax printer: HP OfficeJet Pro 8500 Wireless AIO (A909g model)

    Power settings: Home/Office Desk. Turn off screen after 10 minutes; Turn off hard disks never; System to sleep after 20 minutes; Hibernation ever; Do NOT ask for password when the computer wakes mode standby
    Home Ethernet network connection: card Intel (r) 2-82566DM Gigabit Network Connection with all function Wake on LAN settings WE.
    Browser: Firefox latest but they use IE occasionally when necessary
    E-mail: MS Outlook Express 6 for mail POP3/SMTP service
    Miscellaneous: I also run LogMeInFree version 4 on all my home computers

    Thank you.

    I'm sorry, but I do not know how Wake on Ring more reliable.   I doubt the reliability of 100% is possible.

    I suggest you obtain a separate fax machine.
