Logging on Issue

[JAW]

Hi, All

 

Happy New Year

 

I have a issue with a Lenovo 3000 N200 Laptop with Windows XP Professional Installed. Some times when I try to click on my username to type in my password it will make a big beeping noise. I have restarted my Laptop & logged in with Safe mode on numerous occasions & this has solved the problem, but it will keep re-occurring. I Laptop has local account & is not networked.

 

I would really appreciate help to fix this problem once & for all.

 

 

Many Thanks

Have you changed your password recently? I have seen this with the HP password storing software, it might have a wrong password stored for your username - try removing any lenovo security software and see if you still have the problem

If the above doesn't help, I would be inclined to re-install Windows.

It could be something to do with the Lenovo pre-installed security software though.

I have some of those laptops here & the first thing I do is remove all of the manufacturers software, it only slows the machines down & is not really required.

I have not changed my password recently, I have numerous Laptops with the same build on & all seem to keep having this problem. I also have about 40 different model Lenovo Laptops & they all work fine.

 

Also when I mentioned that I could not login before, I meant I could not even type in my password because the icon does not change when I click on it & instead makes a beeping noise.

 

Thanks

I assumed thats what you meant, i had the same problem where someone had stored the wrong password, it just beeped and hung, which model laptop is it?

We've got some of these models too, what we have found is that people press FN+ALT+DEL, not CTRL+ALT+DEL, which gives them the num lock, and then tthey don't notice it.

 

Do you have the Lenovo Fingerprint software installed or running ? As this starts before the normal windows GINA.

He meant that it beeps @ the welcome screen, when he clicks on the user to logon.
