Hi folks,
I'm having problems logging in to this and other websites from my new laptop - it's just not recognising my password. any ideas?

have a look for numlock key. possibly fn + f7 together but could be anything. this will if on turn half the keyboard intonumbers (they will be in a lighter colour on the top right of the key ). this is the normal problem laptop users get when their password mysteriously locks and they have done nuthin honest !!!
