[OSX 10.7.2] Lion doesn't display password field on login

Hi,

I have two accounts on my iMac without automatic login and sometimes, after clicking on the user, the password field in login screen is not shown.

It works only the icon to put the mac to sleep.

The only thing to do is to force shutdown and restart.

I found the problem since I updated to 10.7.2.

This is my Mac: iMac11,1 (27-inch, Late 2009) Intel Core i7.

Does anyone know how to solve the problem?

Or this is a bug and I expect that Apple will notice?

iMac, Mac OS X (10.7.2),  iMac11,1 27" Intel Core i7 2,8GHz

THIS IS A HUMAN ERROR ISSUE , AS MOST MAC ISSUES ARE . IN MY OPINION .

PRESS DOWN ON THE TRACK PAD UNTIL YOU HEAR THE CLICK . WHILE CLICKING ON THE ACCOUNT ICON . MOST WHO HAVE THIS ISSUE WILL HAVE A TRACKPAD ... LION DOESNT RECOGNIZE THE LIGHT TAPS (IN THIS SCREEN), I THINK .. SOLVED MY EXACT ISSUE .

Good morning,

Have you tried to boot to the Recovery Disk and opened disk utility to do a repair of the hard drive?

On startup, hold CMD + R until the device boots into Recovery Mode.

Select Disk Utility

Select the Macintosh Hard Drive

Select Disk repair.

Restart the device and see if the password box has appeared.

Good luck!
