Hello, folks: I'm wondering if anybody can advise me on what steps to take on this issue in future without holding the power button down on my Mac and forcing a restart? The problem: I occasionally log out of the Mac for a while if I don't plan on using it. While gone off in the other room doing work on one of the Windows PCs I use, or doing other tasks, the password screen goes away due to some screen saver. (No,) I don't have screen savers set in system prefferences, but all of that is only applicable to the logged in user (myself) as nobody else uses my laptop or has physical access ever. The issue then is that when I come back, and see if I can do anything, VoiceOver replies that no windows exist. Control-AltF1 says, "Login Window." Control-AltF2 says No Windows. And, at that point, if I resume VoiceOver, by forcing it to unload and reload it says I'm clearly in the "authentication window" by saying: "VoiceOver on. Authentication"
Then speech dies while I'm trying to figure out what to do. Typing my username and password are ineffective as this system wide lockout screen is in effect. So what am I supposed to do? Basicly, I can't enter my password to log back on, and the only solution I have is to forcefully cut power to the system instantly. Any thoughts are appreciated. -- Sincerely, Keith Home Phone: 928-554-3936 Mobile Phone: 928-713-6370 Primary email: keithint1...@gmail.com -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.
