The Caps Lock Symbol shows up automatically in the password login box

All of a sudden this keeps happening, and I can't log on as the Administrator anymore, as I usually do.
When I restart the computer, the Caps Lock button lights up automatically, before I touch anything.
When I click on the ID that I want to use to log in, and type in the password, it doesn't work (presumably, because the letters are all cap, and my password is all lower case.
If I press the caps lock button to take it off, the caps lock symbol shows up in the Password box, so my password still doesn't work.
Any ideas on how to get rid of the automatic caps lock, when I can't even log in as Admin to make any changes?
I've already tried re-starting; taking the battery out and restarting...

I've figured out a way to log in as Admin, so I've solved that problem, and I've figured out that the problem is that the caps lock button is reversed somehow; when it is lit, then everything is lower case. If I hit it to take off the light, then everything is upper case. I'm sure there must be a way to solve that. I'm going to check on that now.

HT204379 How do I change the small photo that appears in the password prompt box when logging in to my iMac?

Hi,
I hope someone can help me over a triffling but irritating matter. My son has somehow put a pic of himself - I think taken from the photobooth - in the password login box and I want to remove it but I can't find how to do it in system preferences. This happened to me when I first got my mac 2 yers ago, but I can't for the life of me remember how I removed/changed the samll personal pic. Wouldbe most grateful if anyone could advise me! Many thanks.

T510: Which Lenovo app puts caps lock symbol on screen?

The caps lock symbol that appears on the sceen when you turn on/off the caps lock key is cute, but it has a tendancy to hang around all the time, even when the caps lock is turned off. Is there a way of turning this feature off?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

There's an option for that.
Right click the desktop > Screen Resolution > Advanced Settings > On-Screen Display tab.
I think the default may have been changed somewhere along the way, so a hotkey package update might also do the trick.

A login webpage gives the message "This script requires that jquery.js be loaded first." then will not show the user ID and password login boxes. How can this be corrected?

That message is listed in two scripts on the bank's site. One function that can display the message is named PhotoRotator and the other is named PromoRotator. However, I can't seem to trigger the error myself.
If you have any add-ons that alter the page, such as ad blockers, try creating an exception for these sites and see whether that helps:

I do this and wait for several minutes for the password dialogue box to open, enter my password. then wait and wait until my pw is recognized. Accept agreement.

Premier Elements 13 Organizer Works. Editor doesn't. Log in doesn't work
It is uncertain just how far we can go to help you since you do not appear to have Premiere Elements any
longer.Seems you demanded a refund from Adobe Chat, got it, and now are left with a non purchased program which I
am not sure can be used.
Duplicates tend to confuse the person asking the question as well as those attempting to reply. As I suggested in the

Caps lock with number not working for main password

hello when I start my macbook pro I have a login with numbers in it so I use the caps lock to write it but it doesn't work I have to use shift instead!!! when I use the caps lock for writing mail or anything numbers work fine with it!!! Anyone have an idea??
thk sam

If you used the Shift key to originally enter your password with the number keys the Caps Lock key does NOT do the same thing as Shift for the number keys.
This is Shift and numbers,
#^*)$@&
This is Caps LOCK WITH NUMBER KEYS,
1234455667788999
As you see the Caps Lock only works for typing LETTERS Not Numbers or any other symbol found on the keyboard.
To be able to use all the upper case symbols you need to use the Shift key.><?":{}+_)(*&^%$#@!~
Even if the CAPS LOCK IS ON. ,./';\][=-0987654321`

Caps Lock Won't Disengage - Cannot Enter Admin Password

I was using email when my Caps lock key would not longer disengage. Believing that I had hit a combination of keys that had somehow bypassed the caps lock key and locked caps, I restarted.
Restart was slow and included a grey bar scale on the bottom of the boot screen that I have not seen before.
After restart, the log on screen came up in 'Safe Boot' mode.
My password is an all lower case sequence and my caps key is still locked on restart (reboot now?)
I can't enter my password.
What can I do?
What happened?

The 'shift' key was physically stuck. I was unprepared for this as I never eat or drink at the computer. But, it seems to have something in there regardless.

At start up, after the password login, it changes to a different start up and freezes.

I have an HP Pavilion a6712f. When I start it up the screen is black and white. I return on the start Windows in normal mode. Then my password screen comes up. I type in the pass word and it says welcome. Then it says it is setting up a new login. This login, no matter what I try freezes eventually. I ran diagnostics. I found an error code BIOHD-1, but everything is conected properly. I haven't added any hardware recently. The smart short self test fails and the surface scan test fails. I don't think it is the hard drive though. It also tells me I have no previous start up points to recover, which is not possible, I set start up points at least once each week.

Why don't you think it is the hard drive?

When my IMac awakes from sleep mode, the password login screen freezes and no cursor appears.

Hello! When my IMac awakens from sleep mode, my log in screen is frozen (I can't type anything) and there is no cursor.
I can turn the computer off and on again and then I have an active log in screen, but if I walk away from the computer and it goes into sleep mode and i have the same problem trying to bring it back from sleep mode.
Thoughts?

Hey Kristogirl,
I understand that when waking from sleep mode, your iMac freezes. Try executing these two troubleshooting steps:

How do you change the address bar into showing the key symbol, when it only shows the lock symbol?

I want to save my user data to my google mail account.
The first time I typed them in, the password dialogue box appeard, but I clicked on something else so it disappeard and since then never showed again on the google mail paige. (It works perfectly normal on other paiges)
The mozilla support site said to click on the key symbol in the adress bar, but there is no key symbol only a lock symbol. On other websites both are shown but not on the google mail website.
What do I do to open the password dialogue box again? Is there another way than to click on the key symbol?
I use mozilla firefox 20.0 on windows 7.

When you go to a website and enter a username and password that haven't been saved, Firefox will ask if you want them remembered. This question appears in an arrow panel connected to the key icon on the address bar.
If you click on other things, or switch tabs, then the question will disappear. But as long as you remain on the same web page, the key icon will remain visible so you can bring it up again manually.

If you haven't saved your Gmail username and password, and you're not promted to remember them, see the following article.

Caps lock with shift key annoying symbol on desktop

just started getting on my upper right corner of desktop a cap lock symbol , an upward pointing fat arrow. it is annoying.
also got some non-response from my caps lock key. i accidently hit shift key on the right, and it all cleared up.
what's going on?

For the record, here's my solution:
This creates a custom key symbol to swap Caps and Shift:
/usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/custom
partial modifier_keys
xkb_symbols "swapcaps" {
replace key <CAPS> { [ Shift_L ] };
replace key <LFSH> { [ Caps_Lock ] };
This script prints a description of the keymap, adds the symbol to swap the two keys from that other file to the right line, and writes the new description to a temporary file... then compiles it!
/usr/local/bin/fixshift
#!/usr/bin/bash
setxkbmap -print | sed '/xkb_symbols/ { s/"/+custom(swapcaps)"/2 }' > /tmp/fixshift
xkbcomp /tmp/fixshift $DISPLAY > /dev/null 2>&1 &
Then I just set that program to run every time lightdm starts a session:
/etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf
display-setup-script=/usr/local/bin/fixshift
greeter-setup-script=/usr/local/bin/fixshift
session-setup-script=/usr/local/bin/fixshift
And nothing more to it. Life is grand again.

I have 2 caps lock notifications and they respond slowly

Hi,
I have now got 2 caps lock notification boxes in the bottom right hand corner. This I suppose I can deal with it's the fact that most of the time when I have pressed the caps lock they show up sometimes 1 or 2 and then the keyboard is slow to respond i.e. I cannot type for a couple of seconds and as I type quite fast I am finding that half my stuff is missing!
I had installed a new caps lock notification box recently from a fellow forum user as the original blue one had disappeared and I needed to have one because of passwords being case sensitive etc. After the 2nd one was installed the old one came back and now there is the 2 of them.
It could be the point there is 2 boxes making it react slower. If so how do I get rid of one? or is it something else making the repsonse to the caps lock slow?
Can anyone help me solve this? I have the HP Touchsmart Windows 7 with a wifi keyboard and mouse
Thanks everyone!!

Hello victoriacrps,
Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience! To help you get the most out of the HP Forums I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide First Time Here? Learn How to Post and More.
I understand that after a fix to put the Cap Locks Indicator back on your system you now have 2 of them showing and are getting a lag when you switch back and forth. I would suggest that you follow the HP Support document: Using Microsoft System Restore (Windows 7) and restore your computer back to a point in time when you had a single working Cap Lock Indicator. This will not affect your personal files only applications that have been installed after the date you choose or settings that have been adjusted after the date you choose.
Please re-post if you still require additional support. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums. Have a great day!
Please click the "Thumbs Up" on the bottom right of this post to say thank you if you appreciate the support I provide!
