Password problem - Help needed please to identify why?

[newtusmaximus]

My original post LL5.0 release was made before rebooting the laptop  LAN connection.

On rebooting - logging on password (upper and low cases) worked as expected.  However unable to Verify/authorise action such as Lite tweaks or install zoom.deb or access add/delete software
BUT was able to set up wifi passwords to two separate routers.

Keyboard language English (UK) throughout,
Keyboard settings
Number lock reset on restart unticked 
Keyboard model Fujitsu Amilo laptop  - These settings usually work fine on this Fuji lasptop  As with LL4.6
Keyboard layout English UK 

Not sure what is going on  Any ideas welcomed.
PS.  On installing I had used the keyboard identification routine - yes/no to various symbols

Open up a text editor and type in your password to see if it appears as expected.  Perhaps you have Caps Lock or Num Lock inadvertently on.

Thanks.  The text editor was sound.  Typed out the log on password and all OK  Could not identify what was the problem.  So reinstalled.  NOT a problem this time.  No idea; I must have inadvertently done something..This Fuji laptop has always been a problem keyboardwise on LL.
Anyway problem no longer.    Original post tagged "Abandoned"
