Num Lock on Latitude
When ever I boot up a Dell Latitude, the Num Lock is on. This is causing problems when some of my users try to log the network since a lot of them have letters in their password that in being entered as numbers. In other words, if their password has the any of the letters, U, I, O, P, J, K, L, or M, this letter is entered as its corresponding number. For example, the letter U is being entered as the number 4. I have gone into the BIOS and have confirmed that the Num Lock is set to "Disable" but this hasn't helped.
How do I set these laptops so that the Num Lock is NOT on when and after they boot up?
Thanx.

Thank you for using Dell's Community Forum.
What type of computer do you have?
You may want to try going to the BIOS and then restoring the defaults (press Alt-F).

You should enter the computer’s BIOS (press F2 at boot) and then toggle to page 3 of the BIOS and then go to the “Num Lock” section and set it to disabled, and then save and exit.

I would try re-flashing the BIOS once more, if that does not help, you’d need to contact us.
