Any way to disable the numlock on boot? I always enter my password wrong before realizing the numlock is on. Happens on Linuxs, Windows, vmWare, etc.

Yes, you hold down the Fn key and hit NumLock. The Fn key is next to the Windows key which is by the ALT key and the spacebar. The Fn key is in BLUE and controls all the keys with blue color such as the NumLock. You should be able to enter your password then. This has happened to me too. Hope this helps.

Nope, I haven't found a way to disable numlock on boot. I too wish there was a way to do that.

Just hit the backspace button and it erases the last letter put in.Now, will someone tell me what to do when it tells you you're using an incorrect password (and you're not) and it won't let you in to change the password or do anything else. I've lost all the addresses I put in mine.

I'm running Ubuntu 12.04, no problems whatsoever. Had a lot of runtime errors with an Asus itx motherboard. Would only work with Windows XP. I think it has do with the BIOS being UEFI. After the initial boot sequence, the computer would run for 2-5 minutes and suddenly lock up and display all sorts of runtime errors. Finally gave up and used Windows XP. Otherwise, this is a much better motherboard. Highly recommended.

Don't know. Just installed. Have only tested it and it was fine. Was able to reset immediately.

I have run a boot and a backup drive in a pair of these in my home server for years. I keep the boot drive locked to prevent accidental removals when changing data drives. No different from running them on internal connections.

Is it possible you held the 'Fn' key and pressed the '2' key on the num pad a few times? That is how you turn them off. Can you try Fn + 8 on the num pad and see if it turns them back on?

No, the passlock is for when key turns over but causes you to wait 10 minutes to restart.

Just to wrap up this issue, I was using the wrong password when trying to set up the security. When I realized that I was on line in minutes. My thanks to gadgetjq for your help.

Try turning off number lock by default in the computer's BIOS. That's probably why it's doing this. And you should be able to do that within the session by pressing the number lock key on the keyboard.

Solution: borrow another keyboard and install it (probably no need for software). Use ITS number lock to change the status of your num lock software. You can then uninstall it or leave it for future such problems.I note that I also have no blue light to show the num lk function, but my alternate keyboard is already in action.

So you haven't used a PC very much? Screen Lock and Scroll Lock do the same as all PC keyboards (nothing). Hold down [Fn] and [ScrLk/NumLk] turn on the 10 key number pad. U becomes 4, I becomes 5, O becomes 6, ect. Don't use it, if you need a number pad get a different keyboard. The media keys on the top row might or might not work depending upon if your OS has media extensions, it varies even between Windows versions.

Personnaly I never encounted this password problems. You should see a software engineer who will try to save your data before rebooting ...

If this resets everytime you boot, when booting mash DELETE to get to the BIOS settings. In the BIOS settings disable turning on Numlock on boot.

If you are refering to the log in password, the default is either 1111 or 1234. not sure witch if you have set your own and forgotten it, then you will need to reset the whole unit.

I don't know. Have you rebooted it? Sometimes if a computer locks up, rebooting will kind of re-set everything.

Every time I push numlock it shows off or on, on the screen. Yours should to if you have Logitech set point installed.

Thank you for posting this fix. I hate to bother you but I am having the same problem and tech support said they were moving me up another step but I haven't heard from them. Can you explain how to disable microsoft services and what you mean by a clean boot.
