Login problem - password box missing

Usually when our computer was not used for some time at the idle mode, the screen display a password box so that we can type in our password and we can continue with our work.
In my case, instead of typing the password, i click on one button beside it and then a few times with the computer start up power button .
This caused my computer to have a shutdown.
Now each time i switch on my computer, the screen does not display the password box in the centre of the screen. Instead only the VISTA window logo at the bottom. I press the power shutdown button longer, it display some messages saying the VISTA windows operating system was not shutdown properly and has to restart normally or in safe mode.
Each time I choose the option of starting the operating system normally, it will ask me to wait and after that , it is still blank with the vista logo and no fill in password box as we normally has each time we start up.
Help. I do not want to lose all my data in hard disk by formating again..

Hi
Sounds like that something has muddled up the Windows registry...
Can you boot in safe mode? Does this work?
I think in this case you dont have many options and I think reinstalling Windows would be only option in this case
Or you search a little bit with Google

    hello rosun, please go through the steps covered in [[Websites look wrong or appear differently than they should]] - they should contain the most common solutions for the issue you've described...

  • When I enter a website, FireFox used to auto login and password. Now is does NOT. If I choose remember me check box, the website remembers me but I still have to enter a password. I think this is a problem created with website programming.

    The problem is with most websites but not all. When I try to login to this website to ask this question, I have recorded 3 logins. Only one works, but that is a different problem. The websites used to automatically login and suddenly don't. I believe the problem is a change in programming for the website programmers. I found a solution (not a viable one) previously here that is supposed to remember login and password through a laborious process, but that is really cumbersome and doesn't always work either. Today I cannot find that process to try it. I am trying to login to ATT website which was just changed.

    Here are two screen shots to show you what I am seeing.  The first screen shot shows it allowing me to select (highlighted in blue) my admin user (which is what I am locced in as).  The second screen shot shows it allowing me to select the "Guest" user (highlighted in blue).  However when I click on the user "Orion" nothing happens.  It will not change to highlight that user.

  • Stuck at login screen without password box & only cancel button

    I'm having trouble logging into one of my Desktops with Windows 7. I had simply locked my desktop and when I came backup, on waking up the monitor, I noticed that the screen shows the text "Press ctrl+alt+del to login" with the Windows 7 logo underneath
    on a black background. This used to be the default blue wallpaper earlier. On pressing ctrl+alt+del as usual, I see no user account displayed and no text box to enter the password. Only the "Ease of Access", "Cancel" & Shutdown buttons are showing
    on a black background. I can't enter the password anywhere. I restarted the machine to check if the problem disappears but to no avail. It still doesn't gives me the password box and a black background.
    I've tried memory tests and startup tests from the boot menu and its still not fixed. Even safe mode gives me the same login screen without a place to enter my password. When I try to Remote Desktop to this machine from another machine, it gives me the same
    3 buttons on the default wallpaper and no place to enter the password or select a user.
    Any ideas on how to fix this. Any help will be really appreciated.

    According to your description, please try the following methods for a test.
    Method 1:
    I would suggest you to run SFC scan to check for missing or corrupted system files.
    Run System File Checker (SFC) scan to fix any corrupt system files. To do this, follow the steps mentioned in the link :
    How to use the System File Checker tool to troubleshoot missing or corrupted system files on Windows Vista or on Windows 7

    Method 2:
    I would suggest you to perform a system restore
    You can refer the link:

  • Keychain "login" Problems   Can't remember my Keychain password.  Admin Password also does not help. Mac Mini(Late 2012) OS 10.10.2

    Series of Keychain "Login" Problems.
    Hardware: Mac Mini (Late 2012)  2.5 GHz Intel COre i5,  4GB 1600 MHz DDR3
    OS X : 10.10.2 upgraded yesterday
    Mail wants to use "login" keychain.   I enter Password but no success.
    CalendarAgent wants to use "login" keychain.   I enter Password but no success.
    Com.apple.internetaccounts.xpc wants to you "login" keychain. Password, not successful.
    At some point in past days I was offered to rename Keychain, so I did.
    In Keychain Access, I deleted "Login"    and selected Delete references.
    Just now I went into ~/Library/Keychains and found Login.Keychain and Login_renamed.Keychain.
    I have renamed Login.keychain -> Login-old.keychain.
    I renamed Login_renamed.keychain-> Login.Keychain.
    In Keychain Access, I added "Login" back.  This should be the renamed keychain.
    Original problems still persist.  No noticeable changes.
    Keychain wants to use the "Login" keychain.   Can't remember my password or it is incorrect.
    Help?
    TITLprods

    I turned off and turned on the computer.  When restarting it said that it could not use the Login and did I want to create a new or use and alternate?  I created new and for the moment things seem to be working under the command of the "New Login"
    That still doesn't really alleviate the problem of the old login.

  • Oracle9i Startup Password box after login??? Cant bypass

    I just installed Oracle 9i Personal Edition. I logged in with scott and tiger and that works, but then the Oracle 9i database tries to startup and there is a password box prompt that comes up on the screen. It asks for a password and none of these work
    internal
    oracle
    scott
    tiger
    Someone please tell me what the password is or how to bypass it.
    Thanks in advance!!!

    My problem is exactly the same. I have tried manager as well. Doesn't work.

  • Cannot place cursor in password box to complete login.

    At the MLS Listings website , after entering any number in the User ID field and clicking "Sign In", the cursor cannot be placed in the password box of the next window.
    With Safari or IE, the cursor is already in the password box when the window is opened.

    The tab had no effect, but when I was testing the tab I noticed a small box with a stylized F in it in the lower left corner of the password window. Placing the arrow over it revealed a "play" triangle and clicking caused the cursor to appear in the password box.
    My problem was due to Flashblock being installed. Uninstalling it allowed the sign-in to work as would be expected.
    Thanks

  • Login Problems Can't login I Forgotten my password I did't get the confirmation email.

    Login Problems Can't login I Forgotten my password I request a password Reset but I did't get the confirmation email.

    Would you please clarify what site you are trying to log in to?
    If the service is not a Mozilla service, it might be best to contact the customer support of that site instead of Mozilla Support, as they'll be better able to help resolve your problem.
    Thanks! :)

  • Password / login problem

    hi
    i've installed oracle 10g . it works fine but next day it says "login denied unable to login " and i've chked for password expiry date its null and i've given some distant date even then i face same problem . So I reinstall every day , but is there any solution to this .
    coz i create my own table space users and load some people soft tables to work . but i find login problems . I have saved screen shots of db pswd / login that i give evry time i load .
    ..KC

    I'm confused. You install ORACLE on a day by day bases just because the pw "got lost"? ORACLE would be out of the market if that is the only solution.
    I assume you are on windows right?`You installed under your account right? The database services got started right? So go into CMD

    The name of the password file isn't random.
    The SID is case sensitive, and the password file in Unix has no extension!
    So if the filename is wrong, the passwordfile will not be used.
    This filename looks wrong, at least the .ora bit should be removed.

  • Can't login to iMac, no text entered into password box

    I had the issue of my iMac going to black screen prior to the login screen.  I tried using voiceover to login, and got to the login password text box, but when I tried to enter text there was nothing - no clicks, and no password getting entered.  I thought I was just doing something wrong.  I finally used a different fix and now the machine boots all the way to the login screen, showing my main, guest and other icons.  When I click on the main icon, it shows the password box.  But I can't type anything in it.  I can push keys all I want, but no dots show in the box and the cursor doesn't move.  I can log on as a guest, which is how I'm typing this now.  Obviously the keyboard works, there is something blocking the password from being input into the password box.  Help? 

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is only suitable for advanced users, preferably with command-line experience. It works sometimes. There's no assurance it will work in your case. If you don’t understand the directions or don’t feel able to carry them out, STOP.
    Back up all data if you haven’t already done so. There are ways to back up, even if you can’t log in. Before proceeding,you must be sure you can restore everything to the state it’s in now. If you’re not absolutely sure you can do that,STOP.
    Briefly, you need to delete the following file:
    /Library/Preferences/com.apple.loginwindow.plist
    If you already know how to do that, you can skip the rest of this message. Do it, and try again to log in.
    Step 1
    Start up in single-user mode by holding down the key combination command-S at the startup chime. If you’re using an external USB keyboard, it must be plugged directly into a built-in port on the Mac, not into a hub. Release the keys when you see a black screen with scrolling white text. In this mode, there’s no graphical interface; just a command line. Initially, you can’t make any changes to files.
    Step 2
    When the text stops scrolling, and you see a line ending in a pound sign (“#”), type the following command:
    mount -uw /
    You must type the command exactly as given, with no mistakes. If you don’t feel able to do that, STOP.
    Press the return key.
    Step 3
    Enter the following command:
    rm -i /L*/*/*login*
    Again, you must get it exactly right. You should be prompted to remove a file named exactly "com.apple.loginwindow.plist". Press the Y key and then return to confirm. Press the N key and then return if you get any other response
    Step 4
    Enter the command:
    exit
    Press return. The text will start scrolling again, and then the system will restart. Try again to log in.

  • FTP login and password are not saved on some sites

    On some of my sites the FTP login and password are not saved
    (even though the "saved" box is checked). Dreamweaver 8.0 on XP
    SP2. I can export the site information and then import the same
    file exported and there still will be no login or password placed
    in the login or password window. I opened the exported .ste files
    in notepad and found the login correct and the password incorrect.
    I uninstalled Dreamveaver and reinstalled still same
    problem.

    Ok, I just spent about 3 hours on this. Here's the latest
    that I've found. I had looked at the knowledgebase and my registry
    matched what was suggested. As this has been an ongoing issue for
    me, I thought it was still an issue. Apparently 8.02 did have some
    improvements.
    I can only guess that many of the 36 sites I have in the Site
    Manager lost info before the .02 update.. or I hope so.
    I did however discover that there is still what could be
    considered a minor bug. I went in to Manage Sites and selected edit
    for all of my sites, fixing the ones that had lost their user/pass
    info. I'm not positive, but I think only the last edited site kept
    it's data.
    I discovered after many checks on all the sites, over and
    over and over, that it appears that they are now holding the data,
    but, if I add the user/pass, I must not only click the OK button to
    close that particular site, but I must also click the 'Done' button
    before only that one will be saved.
    So, I thought I was fixing logins when in fact I was only
    fixing one at a time.. Completely closing 'Manage Site' seemed to
    hold one new set of login data each time. Seems that it shouldn't
    be this way.
    But I must say, I am rejoicing at the moment, as I actually
    have all my sites set up with FTP info and I am now looking forward
    to hopefully adding more and maybe they'll actually be available
    for the next editing session.

  • Safari 7 Preferences: I can't delete a web site login and password

    Hello:
    I can't delete a safari web site login and password
    After tapping delete all there is 1 item still in the box.
    ¿How can I delete it?
    Thak's in advance,
    Luis

    I had the same problem, and the solution was to delete the entries using the Keychain Access tool, found in Applications → Utilities. You can search for the entry there, remove it, and then it will be deleted from Safari as well.
    (I had to do this when I changed my email address on Amazon, and all the auto-login pages had the old email addresses and wouldn't update. I tried to delete them from Safari's passwords dialog and ran into the problem you described).
    Note that this question provides the same answer in more detail.
