Hello, I am new here and have searched previous Post and Threads without success for this problem. This is on my sons computer which is a CompaQ Presario PC with INtel Pentium Dual Core Processor E2140. It is using Windows Vista Home Premium. I do not know, nor does he, if it has any updated Service Packs.
For some time now, and I have no idea how long as he recently brought it to my attention, Vista request a password in the UAC but will not allow ANY charactors to be typed in. It demands the password to do any changes to the computer and to run many programs.
I was successful today in changing my administrator password but still Vista will not allow me to enter the password into the UAC so changing the password did nothing. I am going to go back after posting this and see if I can again change the password leaving it blank. However, attempting to turn off the password failed. Logging on as guest also requires the password to be entered but will not accept any charactors at all to be entered.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you, Bill K.
