Cannot type password after Hybernate

When I switch on my mac after it went on Hybernate, I cannot type in my password in the password box, and I have to wait for it to go to sleep (2 minutes circa), to switch it on again and have the possibility to type the password. Is there a way to fix this?
(Mac OS X Mountain Lion with the latest upgrades)

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, or by corruption of certain system caches. 
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and  Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • Can only type password after long waiting time

    When starting my MBP I cannot type anything or click with my mouse until the login screen changes to enable shutdown etc by itself. Anyone with similar experiences and/or solutions?
    After booting, which actually takes a couple of minutes I cannot type my password (neither with external USB keyboard) or do anything at all at the log in screen. I can see the mouse cursor and move it (trackpad and magic mouse), but am unable to click anything. I need to wait for another couple of minutes until the screen changes and allows for restart, sleep and shutdown before I can click and type anything.
    In this way starting up my MBP takes ages and any advice would be more than welcome.

    I'm finding the same problem in the TM "Star Wars" interface. In earlier versions of 10.5.8 I was able to complete this task, but not in the current one, Mac OS X 10.5.8 (9L30)
    The preferences file may be corrupt. Try a "full reset" per #A4 of the Time Machine - Troubleshooting *User Tip* at the top of this forum.
    Is this going to be addressed in an upcoming release of 10.5?
    It's very unlikely there will be any more updates to Leopard.

  • Cannot type password or anything in the help search bar

    Just recently, after the 10.5.2 upgrade and the Leopard Graphics update, when my Powerbook is in sleep mode and it starts up, the password prompt box is displayed, as normal, but not it will not let me type anything in the password box. There are no characters displayed, numbers or letters. Something then cycles through and it goes back to sleep. The only way I can get around this is to bring it out of sleep and kill the power, to have it restart.
    To see if I needed a software update, I did a search update and found an Airport update. When I tried to install the update after downloading, I was prompted for my Admin password, AND THE SAME PROBLEM OCCURED, only this time the update program would crash.
    I then went to do a search in the help bar and again, I could not type anything in the search word section.
    So basically, everything functions properly with the computer (I can type in Word, Mail, Safari, etc...), it's just when I am prompted for the Admin password, or search through HELP or Spotlight, no keystrokes are displayed or recognized.
    I did extract some data from one of the crash reports that was sent to Apple:

    Hello wendysue, '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
    * You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
    ''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
    '''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
    ''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
    Thank you.

  • Cannot type in password after awaking, ideapad yoga 2

    Any one has met this problem? Is there anyone would provide a solution? Thanks!
    I got the new ideapad yoga 2 yesterday. And this happens twice. When I awake the laptop from sleep model. I cannot type in password. The keyboard light turn on, but cannot work anymore. I have to sleep it again, then I can type again. 
    Why this happened. 

    There are also reports of touchpad driver issues and since both the keyboard and touchpad run from the legacy PS/2 port it's possible that the problems are related...

  • I changed my gmail password after suspicious activity was detected.  It works fine on my computer but my iphone 5 doesn't recognize my new password ("cannot get mail" message).  I've tried changing my phone settings to the new password, but no good.

    Hello there dinadinadina,
    It sounds like you have modified the password settings for your Gmail account after changing the password. Thats where I would have started too. Next I would restart the device and test it one more time, and then remove and add the account again in Settings:
    Get help with Mail on iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch
    Restart your iOS device.
    Delete the affected email account from your device.
    Tap Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars.
    Tap the affected email account.
    Tap Delete Account.
    Add your account again.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Take care,
    Sterling

  • Migrating from server 2003R2 to 2008R2 User cannot change password box unchecks after being checked.

    After Migrating the domain controller from server 2003 R2 to 2008 R2 the check box for users cannot change password wont stay checked. This is happening to ALL users and no they are not a member of any Protected Groups. I have searched for a solution
    for months but cant not find.
    And now after migrating the exchange 2003 to 2010 I have to keep applying the inherited permissions every hour until a user finally makes an active sync.
    Now having more AD issues, cant remove users from Exchange 2010...And again have to go to the DC and applying the inherited permissions, then I can remove the user.
    I really need help with this...
    John

    Hi,
    Did you use the migration tools to do the user migration?
    Permissions on a user that is migrated from an Active Directory domain are reset to default values during migration.
    I think this is by design:

  • Cannot type on form after receiving it via email

    After form filler completes the form, it is then emailed to the appropriate people using the "email" button.  This is working great.  It comes thru as a PDF and even those with only the Reader can complete and email the form.  The recipients of the form need to add information to the bottom (date received, number assigned, etc.) and email it back to the originator for their files.  My problem is that the recipients cannot type on the form after they receive it.  How do I resolve this?

    Are there signature fields on the form?
    Does the signature field for the first signer 'Mark as readonly:' 'All Fields'?

  • Tecra A11-1EG - cannot access BIOS after setting supervisor password

    Hello, I wonder if anyone can help ?
    We have just started to put a supervisor password onto our Tecra A11 laptops so our pupils cannot set passwords on the hard drive etc.
    To get into the BIOS and set a BIOS password, we press F2 as the machine starts.
    We then go into the security option, then supervisor password.
    Having entered the password we want to use twice, we press F10 to save etc.
    The machine starts ok and goes in to windows without a hitch.
    The problem we have now is that we cannot get back into the bios at all.
    As the machine starts we press the F2 key as before but unlike previously the screen just remains blank and the 'Toshiba leading Innovation >>>' screen no longer appears.
    If we keep our finger on the F" key or keep pressing it the laptop just restarts without ever getting to the BIOS screen where I assume we will get asked for the supervisor password we set earlier?
    Is there another key we should be pressing as the laptop starts ?
    I should add we have added a supervisor password for the BIOS security screen on three of our laptops and all three have the same issue.
    Thanks
    Steve

    I think this should be useful for you:
    http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB0B032D0000R01.htm
    In some cases you need to press the "INS" key while Toshiba logo appears.
    Then a prompt for the Supervisor Password would appear and if the password is certified then the BIOS could be entered by pressing the "F2" key.

  • After converting to word cannot type in document?

    cannot type in exported documents, word, scaned pdf?
    ms office 2011 for mac , with latest updates

    Hi,
    It seems that your Word file is an image rather than selectable text.
    If your PDF file contains scanned images please turn "ON" OCR to recognize those images to selectable text when you export the PDF file to Word.
    Please let me know if you still have the same issue.
    Note: To turn ON OCR:  Check ON for "Recognize scanned text in" in Export Options dialog of  web ui(https://createpdf.acrobat.com/signin.htmlor hhtps://exportpdf.acrobat.com/signin.html) or "Recognize text in English" in Reader X or Reader XI
    Thank you.

  • After latest security update, cannot type capital "s" nor "w" using right shift key. Left one works fine...

    I'm running Snow Leopard with the last week's update...
    I see now cannot type several characters using the right shift key..
    I tried to reboot - bad habit from windows era still no improvement...
    how can I rollback to previous version of software?
    or/ is there a solution to this problem

    Is it all applications that these keys don't work?
    Also is it a wired keyboard or bluetooth keyboard, either keyboard i'd suggest starting with resetting SMC (helps USB) and PRAM (helps Bluetooth)
    Reset SMC
    Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
    Reset PRAM
    Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
    If it's a USB keyboard i'd suggest trying a different USB port and restarting the computer, for a bluetooth keyboard i'd suggest removing the keyboard from Bluetooth Preferences and repairing the keyboard.

    I'm having a similar problem with Pages I just purchased in the App Store. I can have only one doc open at a time--otherwise, it just ignores either keystroke or cursor direction to open a new window or open an existing file. This is wasting my time! I'm a writer...I need to be able to have multiple files open in Pages at once!
