So now the laptop boots, and I have the boot disk encrypted. But like every good password it includes numbers, and the laptop boots with numlock off. Annoyingly there's no UEFI setting for it. Does anyone know if there's a way to force numlock on before entering the encryption password? Seems like an obvious need but the only answers I have found are to enable it in the BIOS which only works if the option is there. I do have numlockx installed but that only kicks in later in the boot. -- Mark Rogers // More Solutions Ltd (Peterborough Office) // 0844 251 1450 Registered in England (0456 0902) 21 Drakes Mews, Milton Keynes, MK8 0ER
