OK wondering if anyone can shed some light on this
I'm using a computer at my parent's house, windows 7 installed, was previously using a small asics keyboard, plugged in a larger microsoft keyboard
problem is the password only works if I type it on the old keyboard
it doesn't involve any fancy characters, it is simply a string of random lowercase letters and numbers... I have both keyboards plugged in, can bring up notepad and type the password out with each keyboard... the exact same string of characters/numbers is typed... then I go to lock the computer and only the old keyboard can be used to enter the password correctly???
second issue - if the computer has been left for a while and has locked itself then I can't log in with the password - I have to press switch user then enter the password
any ideas why this is happening? I'm more curious than anything as I can presumably change the password using a combination of the old keyboard and new keyboard.
