Unable to login windows 8, password box shows weird characters

I have had this issue several times, reset or restoring doesn't help. Luckily I made a system Image after full installation allowing me to restore my computer with all applications and tooling but it is anoying.
What happens: After rebooting (at some moment in time after a new install) typing in the password or pin gives all sorts of strange characters so the password is never correct. Sometimes using the onscreen keyboard works. Once logged in I get the same issue
when I try to change the password. This seems to also happen in other password fields.
Am I contnouosly being Hi-Jacked, since I have RDP-port forwarded in my Firewall (hardware as well as Windows Firewall) or is this a bug?

Hi,
Thank you for your feedback.
Can you logon with Safe Mode with networking? Does the issue occurs?

BB Desktop shows weird characters

My BB Desktop shows weird characters.
Does anyone know why and what i can do about it so i can read the characters again?

Hey G66,
Welcome to the BlackBerry® Support Community Forums.
To better assist you can you provide a screen shot of the characters you are seeing? Also what language was selected when you completed the install?
Thanks.

Inspector Adjustments HUD show weird characters

My Aperture Version 3.2.1 all of a sudden shows weird characters in my inspector adjustments HUD. I.e. Instead of CropOperations I now read DGCrop Operations and the likes. It's ever more weired in the full screen retouch adjustments panel. There one can read wordings such as DGGNGSmoothing Operation and other crazy nomenclature.
The first time I experienced that I completely deinstalled my current Aperture version and reinstalled a fresh copy. Everything was fine for a day or two. However last night it came back out of the blue.
Does anyone have an idea what's happening here.
See these screenshots for better explanation of this problem. Thanks.

Do you perhaps have two Aperture installions - the old one with weird menus and the new installation, freshly installed from the App Store? Search with Spotlight for "Aperture". Your most recent Apterure should be the one installed in "Applications"; is the one you deleted still sitting in the Trash?
After force-quitting the new Aperture and opening again your Aperture Library could still be set to be opened with the older Aperture Version, if that were still there.
Where is that DGGNG string coming from?
searching with locate from the Terminal I found the string inside the Aperture.app package (and the iPhoto.app), as part of the localization strings of the "Geode.framework"
% locate DGGNG
/Applications/Aperture.app/Contents/Frameworks/Geode.framework/Versions/A/Resour ces/English.lproj/DGGNGBlurOperation.strings
/Applications/Aperture.app/Contents/Frameworks/Geode.framework/Versions/A/Resour ces/English.lproj/DGGNGBurnOperation.strings
/Applications/Aperture.app/Contents/Frameworks/Geode.framework/Versions/A/Resour ces/English.lproj/DGGNGContrastOperation.strings
/Applications/Aperture.app/Contents/Frameworks/Geode.framework/Versions/A/Resour ces/English.lproj/DGGNGMultiplyOperation.strings
/Applications/iPhoto.app/Contents/Frameworks/Geode.framework/Versions/A/Resource s/English.lproj/DGGNGTintOperation.strings
/Applications/iPhoto.app/Contents/Frameworks/Geode.framework/Versions/A/Resource s/English.lproj/DGGNGVibrancyOperation.strings
If I look inside these localization files with XCode, I see the correct description of these effects:
%open -aXCode /Applications/Aperture.app/Contents/Frameworks/Geode.framework/Versions/
A/Resources/English.lproj/DGGNGMultiplyOperation.strings
/* Interface */
DGGNGMultiplyOperation = "Polarize";
DGGNGMultiplyOperationLong = "Polarize (Multiply)";
inputIntensity = "Intensity";
inputIntensityTooltip = "The amount of polarization effect applied to the area brushed on the image";
For some strange reason your Aperture seems to use the filename of the localization file instead of the strings defined inside the file? Are maybe the correct localization files missing in your Aperture version? Which country have you set in the "Language and Text" preference pane of the System Preferences? I did not see a localization file for "british english", eg.

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
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929833
Method 2:
I would suggest you to perform a system restore
You can refer the link:
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/products/features/system-restore
If there is not any working Restore Point, please compare the following 2 registry tree with a working computer.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\Notify

Unable to login when change password option is enabled

Hi,
I have configured remote vpn on my Cisco ASA and users connecting to this will use Cisco VPN dialer and gets authenticated with the Windows 2008 domain controller credentials. Now the problem I face is, when i set the option for user-A as "user must change the password during next login" it doesn't accept , it accepts only when I uncheck only then the user-A will be able to login.
Any ideas what option or configuration do I to do so that it can popoup for changing the password?
FYI I use windows 7 profession edition with Cisco VPN dialer client ver. 5.0.04.0300. I am unable to find "windows logon properties" under the "options" menu.

Hi,
I managed to get the password change option pop-up when "Change password during next login" set for for the user-A in windows 2008 Active Directory. But now the issue is, I enter the old password, it accepts & then its pops up to enter me the new password twice, when I enter the new password with some special charecters it stills pops me up to enter the new password with special charecters. After 2-3 attempts it disconnects. It will allow me to connect only when I un-check the "change password during next login"
Any ideas?

Dialog title shows weird characters when losing focus

Hi all,
a localized application with two configured languages has problems with the title of a modal dialog. Opening the dialog works fine, the text is displayed properly. After klicking into the main screen (so the modal dialog loses the focus), some weird characters are displayed in the title (looks chinese). The buttons that are localized with the same resourcebundle stay normal. Does anybody know this problem?
Regards, Robert4

More information:
This problem does not occur at all workstations. Some do not have this problem at all. But it's all on Windows XP SP 1.
Maybe a threading problem? I cannot imagine.........

Unable to login Windows Server 2012 after making local policy changes

Experts, we have modified the local policy setting on the windows server 2012 and badly it was domain controller now none of the users are able to login to the server. After entering the user name and password it will launch till welcome screen then it errors
out saying user name or password incorrect. below are the steps which we followed
1. Policy setting is located in Computer Configuration\Security Settings\Local Policies\Security Options \Network security: Configure encryption types allowed for Kerberos values change from Not Configured to DES_CBC_MD5
2. changed user attribute msDS-SupprtdEncryptionTypes to 2 , this account we were used for kerberos authentication.
3. Logged off from the server and then server doesn't allow any user to login.
regards,
Jakk

Have you tried connecting to the server from a 2nd DC? Have you tried installing the RSAT tools on a domain member server and modify the offending policy ?
last choice would be restart the DC into safe mode.

I do not want all login ids to show up when i try to log into my hotmail or yahoo or gmail accounts using firefox browser. Is there anyway to prevent any login IDs (not passwords) from showing in sign up page of firefox. I don't want login IDs to show up.

please help and thanks in advance for your help.

Hi,
Troubleshooting a start up script can be difficult. There are some third party programs that also keep logs of start up programs, however for Firefox this may be different.
Is Firefox a startup program? [http://www.winxptutor.com/msinfo32.htm]
Its also possible to check the Web developer tools for any scripts in a page: [https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Tools/Debugger]
In the control panel there is also Administrative tools to view event logs, but this may be something a local technician can walk you through.

Reminders showing weird characters when typing

When I type in a new reminder on icloud.com (I am using WIndows 7) all of the sudden I am seeing gibberish characters. They become fine when I hit enter or details or when reading something typed.. But as I am typing, they are just weird chaarcters.,. Anyone else have this issue? How can I fix?

I'll tell you whatever you want to hear but wouldn't you prefer hearing the truth?
Personally, I'd be more concerned about someone seeing what keys my finger depressed while entering the PW. The text on the keys is much larger and much easier to see than the text on the entry area. Bottom line is that I'd never enter any PW under any circumstances while someone else is watching.

Safari showing weird characters and letters and LOTS of whitespaces!!

Hi!
I've installed Mac OS X Snow Leopard (nice program), anyway - Safari has been messed up now. It is showing lots and lots of whitespaces and just single letters like k s Ss and that kind of stuff, this picture show an email I've read (http://i940.photobucket.com/albums/ad250/Dwatten/Skrmbillede2009-09-28kl164217.p ng)
What am I supposed to do??
-Thanks in advance
Dennis

By the way - I've installed them by dragging them into the SYSTEM font folder I didn't know I oculd just double-click the font and then it would be installed into the font book.. But can I reinstall the font book and all system fonts back to SYSTEM DEFAULT?
I would really like to clean up my fonts one time for all instead of deleting some and then manually putting the ones I need into the font book..

Login window doesn't show up after installing

So I downloaded all the updated released yesterday, including 10.5.2 combo update, Leopard Graphics Update 1.0 & iLifeSupport 8.2. Then I installed them all, restarted my Mac just fine. However, after I installed Application Enhancer & logged out, the login window couldn't show up ever since.
Then I tried the following solutions:
1 startup in single-user mode, fully mounted the boot volume, removed /Library/Application Enhancers & /Library/Preferences/Application Enhancer.prefPane ; then I tried to reboot, login window didn't show up.
2 startup in single-user mode again, fully mounted the boot volume, used the following command:
mv /Library/StartupItems StartupItemsOld
mv /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/preferences.plist preferenceOld
mv /Library/Preferences/loginwindow.plist loginwindowOld
mv /Library/Preferences/DirectoryService DirectoryServiceOld
rebooted again, login window still doesn't show up.
So if anyone could help me out, Thank you very very much!
also, I found two strange files in the root directory: mach_kernel, mach_kernel.ctfsys. What are this two files for?

Sounds like you need to run the repair disk routine on the installation disk's version of Disk Utility. Failing that, you could try going into single user mode on startup. Restart the Mac while holding both CMD & S. When you see the code screen and prompt >, type *fsck -fy* (note the space after the k) then hit return. Hopefully things get repaired. Once complete type reboot and hit return

Login window hides user with UID 1000

I had to change my primary user's UniqueID to 1000 to access NFS shares on a linux box.
Ever since then the account became "hidden" in the sense that regardless of the login window's option of "show list of users" I can only log in by selecting the "Other" option and supplying the username+password.
I have researched extensively and some people over different forums reported this behaviour as well specific to UID 1000. Nevertheless this "feature" is absolutely undocumented.
Would anyone know of a plist option that puts this user back to the login screen list?
I suppose alternatively I could change the UID back to 501 on both the Mac and the linux box so they'd be in sync...

Thanks for the responce.
I realize that I need to chown some user specific folderes and files. I also did that on my current system.
Nevertheless...some thinges are still not working properly. I belive im not quite there yet.
I would like to know how to do this the simple but correct way....in LION
I think its a bit overkill to use your scripts, due to all the LDAP stuff.
There must be a specific way to add users with specific UID on LION on a single OSX installation.
I have found lots of halv way there solutions on the net..but would realy like to see something more official!
I kind of made a workaround with my NFS share on my linux sever, using a special way to mount them avoiding hte UID problems.
On the linux box in etc/exports...i export the NFS share linke this.
/media/RAID5/xxxx *(rw,async,no_subtree_check,insecure,anonuid=1000,anongid=1000,all_squash)
And ...in Finder...on the mac ...i right click and "Connect to server" like this
nfs://xxxIPxxxxx/media/RAID5/xxxx
xxxx= some folder do share.
All my linux users are as standard UID 1000, but if anyone with a drifferent UID mounts the nfs share ...they are regarded as uid 1000 in any case avoidnig file premission conflicts.
NFS is not the only reason I would like to use same UID on all systems.
Sharing files on harddisks, and dualboot systems with linux/osx are another reason.
Linux has read/write to HFS+ if not journaled..!!
(I know this is more info than needed, but if someone else reads this...having NFS issues..thay may pick up some idears ;o)

Unable to Login to Creative Cloud App

Photoshop CC was crashing every time I attempted to open a new file inside of the application (Photoshop would stay open as long as did not attempt to open a file.)
I uninstalled PS CC.
When I attempted to reinstall. I received the following message in the CC app:
"Unknown Server Error: Sign in is currently unavailable. We are unable to access your account. Please try again later."
I ran the CC cleaner, restarted, and reinstalled CC. I am still receiving the message and unable to login.
My password has been reset from the recent security warning, and I am able to login to my Adobe account online, and everything seems to be in order.
I am running on OS X 10.8.5.
HELP, please.
