Next time you do it, count the dots just to make sure all keystrokes are being registered. -- The key to getting good answers is to ask good questions.

So it you hit "space" (which is what I'm used to doing), then your password has an extra space in front. I almost always go into the power management screen and disable screen locking after an install :-).

If you can't see what you're typing into, you might not be typing into what you think you are. It might not be a locked screen, it could simply be a black screen and you're typing your password into something that might steal it.

Tim: Ed Greshko: It doesn't have to be that way. Your screen could be blank for non-hacked reasons (you were watching something that finished with a black screen, software fault, monitor lead pulled out, KVM hotkey error, etc), but what was left sitting on your screen was a terminal, or an instant message, or a webpage with a form... Instant Messaging was a right pain for stealing passwords, and other things, years ago when I still used them. Incoming messages would automatically pop-up in the middle of you typing into something else, and steal what you were typing. At that stage, they hadn't made them check whether you were already using the keyboard before they interrupted. That one's difficult unless they know what YOUR screensaver is. -- uname -rsvp Linux 3.10.0-1127.13.1.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Jun 23 15:46:38 UTC 2020 x86_64 Boilerplate: All unexpected mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted.
