Overview

This support call involved a login lockout in East Putney where the customer could not enter her password at all.

Symptoms

  • Password field present but no usable keyboard input
  • Repeated login attempts failed
  • High user stress despite a simple underlying fault

Diagnosis

Onsite checks confirmed the Bluetooth keyboard had disconnected silently, so the account itself was not the issue.

Fix

We re-established the keyboard connection, confirmed stable input, and validated successful login and normal desktop use.

Result

Access was restored immediately and the customer could resume normal day-to-day tasks.

Prevention / Tips

If login fails unexpectedly, test with a wired keyboard first. It quickly separates input faults from true account or system problems.
