    No login prompt after locking screen


    Hello,
    I locked my company computer last Friday because it had to make some calculations. When I came back on Tuesday and wanted to unlock it, there was only a black screen with my mouse pointer. After pressing CTRL-ALT-DEL the background of the login screen appeared, but not more. No login possibility. I tried to make a remote desktop to it, but became no reaction (unable to connect).
    Are there some other keys or shortcuts than CTRL-ALT-DEL to get a reaction or to get to another prompt?
    Lars
    EDIT: I didn't mention that I cannot reboot the computer, because I need the data that was calculated.

    1. This is the third hit in google search for this problem, so it is relevant and actual.

    2. A friend had (well still has, all the time) this problem. A workaround is to put the PC to sleep and wake it up again. The the login works normally. I don't remember how he made the PC to sleep. Maybe the power/sleep options were displayed on the screen. Maybe the power button was configured to make the PC sleep (instead of shutdown). Or maybe he closed the display lid (it was a laptop).

    3. A real solution is still welcome...

As can be seen in the picture, sometimes after locking the computer, unlocking is impossible because there is no where to enter the password and the screen is almost empty but the options on the bottom left. Any way to fix that? 100990
