I have windows 7 and my password is numeric. When I start windows I always try to enter password with numpad and when it fails I see numlock is off. How should I change this behavior in windows?

I want the default keyboard options always to be "on for Numlock" and "off for Capslock and Scrolllock at my windows startup.

To enable NUM LOCK before a user logs on, follow these steps:

Run Registry Editor.

Move to

HKEY_USERS\.Default\Control Panel\Keyboard
.

Change the value for InitialKeyboardIndicators from 0 to 2.

This should hopefully set NUM LOCK as soon as the login screen appears.

I did this for a relative quite some time ago. Search for "InitialKeyboardIndicators" in your registry. It should be somewhere in HKEY_Users. Experiment with the settings. I think "2" is NumLock on, CapsLock off.
