lockscreen password failure

[Richard M. Lotz]

Check and make sure that the caps lock is not on.  It should not be an
issue but make sure that their password is not greater than 8 chars, or
other oddities.  I suggest checking kde.org for any known issues.

PS. you can switch to a VT by hitting ctl-alt-F1 even when the screen is
locked (atleast you can when using xscreensaver) and login as root to
shutdown properly.
