If you used the Shift key to originally enter your password with the number keys the Caps Lock key does NOT do the same thing as Shift for the number keys.


This is Shift and numbers,

This is Caps LOCK WITH NUMBER KEYS,

As you see the Caps Lock only works for typing LETTERS Not Numbers or any other symbol found on the keyboard.

To be able to use all the upper case symbols you need to use the Shift key.><?":{}+_)(*&^%$#@!~

Even if the CAPS LOCK IS ON. ,./';\][=-0987654321`
