    Hello vett,

    Did you use netplwiz to automatically sign in to your account at startup?

    If so, the password may not have been entered correctly in netplwiz or since changed. You can setup netplwiz again with the correct password to sort this.

    Double check in netplwiz using the tutorial above to have the box checked.

    In addition, make sure that caps lock is not turned on by mistake when signing in the first time.

    Also if you have more than one keyboard language installed, check you are using the correct one. For example, if you have used #, ", @ or £ in your password then you'll have trouble if you have both the UK and US keyboards available and use the wrong one. Try clicking on the 'eye' symbol at the end of the password box to see if what you typed came out as intended.

    If you use numbers in your password, check if NumLock is enabled.
