Cannot type my password...

I had the same problem. I figured out that the number pad to the right of keyboard dont work on there. Use the numbers on the top of the key board. Then once you get in go to keyboard and enter your key board type and maker. I hope this helps.

Hello Scott
this does not fit my problem...
my password has only letters....and as I explained no matter what I try to enter the black block does not move...it disappears at every entry but shows up at the same location....
many thanks for your trial to help me
Bob

Betreff: Re: [Question #87918]: A: It's easy - the passwords won't show up as you type them but they are being entered.. Notice that it won't show the '*' while you type, but just type in normally ! this is how it works to avoid people from looking over your shoulder !:-) does not work for me....black box remains at start position and after enter the message is....try again
