Restart console process. Kil current one and do init q

Also, try resetting/restarting the GSP.

Hello,

Try restarting the console, If you have other terminal, you can try this command,
# stty -lcase

Hello Justin,

Try,
for login on console type ur passwd when CAPS lock on(I am not sure, u can change ur passwd from telnet to some numerical)
#stty iuclc, For Lower case
#stty ouclc, For Uppercase,

Dear justin,

1. Try POWER-OFF and POWER-ON the console

2. Try "killing" the console getty process.

It should help you.

With Regards,

Siva.

I have seen this before in quite a few places. What happened was: someone tried to login with CAPS-LOCK on, the logname was not recognized, and the login process was trying to be helpful by thinking that you were on a CAPS-ONLY terminal (who remembers those?), and returns the prompt in caps only.

The solution by that time was both simple and efficient: turn off CAPS-LOCK, and enter Control-D (logout). This way the login process thought that a new login procedure would have been started and that all things were back to normal again.

Enjoy, Have FUN! H.Merijn

Hi all,

It did happen to me also, except I had the @ symbol in my password.

When I was trying to log on to the console, it will go to the next line when pressing @.

I did change the password so it includes only numbers and letters and it works fine.

My regards,
