I am connected to a network with my office. My password
needs to be input with caps lock on. XP doesn't like the
caps lock button and will not accept the password with
caps lock. Any suggestions?
 
Using XP, when you go to enter a password, a popup text
balloon will warn you that caps lock is on, and that this
can cause you to incorrectly enter your password.

However, you can ignore the warning and proceed. Caps
lock is on, and the balloon will go away and let you enter
the password, in caps.

It bears mention, however, that passwords are case
sensitive. If you mix upper and lower case letters, you
double the pool of characters from which your password is
composed, and your password becomes harder to guess
(better security, that).
