I have had this issue several times, reset or restoring doesn't help. Luckily I made a system Image after full installation allowing me to restore my computer with all applications and tooling but it is anoying.

What happens: After rebooting (at some moment in time after a new install) typing in the password or pin gives all sorts of strange characters so the password is never correct. Sometimes using the onscreen keyboard works. Once logged in I get the same issue when I try to change the password. This seems to also happen in other password fields.

Am I contnouosly being Hi-Jacked, since I have RDP-port forwarded in my Firewall (hardware as well as Windows Firewall) or is this a bug?

Hi,

Since on-screen keyboard works, I suggest to change a USB keyboard to see if it works.

Hi Leo,

I did that already. I am pretty sure it is not a keyboard issue since the onscreen keyboard doesn't always solve the issue, it sometimes has the same issue

Besides, thanks for the reply/effort.

Hi,

Thank you for your feedback.

Can you logon with Safe Mode with networking? Does the issue occurs?

same issue appears in safe mode. Only restoring from an image resolves the problem. Even restoring to a restore point won't fix the problem.

A the moment I have restored my Image and am not experiencing the issue. It feels like a ticking timebomb though.

Somehowe my previous post was marked as an answer whilst it isn't.This morning the problem appeared again:

I Ran MBAR and McAfee rootkit remover, neither of them reported any issues. I also ran full scans on MBAM and MS Defender with no issues either.

I am going to have to install my clean image again.

This is driving me crazy since I have no hacks/cracks or other illegal things.. neither do I surf dangerously, most of the time even sandboxed.

It appears that only microsoft related passwords are "scrambled"

i.e. Skydrive, Outlook, Windows log-on etc.

The passwords however are still correct and working on other pc's/devices.

Hi Leo,

After checking all options I decided to make a dual boot scenario with Ubuntu, to run boot/root virus detection from. Whilest installing I experienced some crashes so I decided to do a memtest (PC is 6 months old). Memtest showed one 8 Gb. strip of memory was very bad. Replaced it and everything seems to be running fine for a few days. I guess issues are gone.

I have the same problem,  had to "de code" the jumbo words to my real pass word.     Happened after I started computer up.  Key board fine but it's just the pass word field. Trying to find out what's going on. 

But I got n.  

I have the same problem, when I type, it gets deleted or changes characters, is getting really annoying, anyone found a solution?

Hi Juan-Carlos,I have posted my solution a long time ago, it appeared to be a faulty DIMM memory module. I advise you to run a memory test to see if the modules are good.

Best regards,
