Every once in a while the system stops accepting my password. Rebooting does not help.
Is it a regular interval? There are "expire password" options in the user configuration, perhaps yours has been set.
I see that mine is set, but with a huge number before it's required.
Nope. Not a password timeout and the interval has been pretty random.
The other thing to check is whether you have a bad key on your keyboard, and that one of the letters you're typing isn't being entered, or is double-entering.
If you have an international keyboard selected, perhaps some of the keys aren't sending the characters you expect.
That would effect everything else. No other typing is showing issues.
I did notice that a system account had been added the last time, but why that would be a problem here I do not know.
