The system distinguishes between numeric keys above
the letter keys and those in the numeric keypad at the
right of the keyboard. For instance, if you enter a
keypad 8 when enabling the password, you may not
enter the 8 above the letter keys to use the password.

The system does not distinguish between uppercase
and lowercase letters in a password. For instance, D is
the same as d.

you must reenter the password.

If you make a mistake, use <Backspace> to erase the
characters up to the mistake, then retype the correct
characters.
