System locking up after entering one incorrect character in my password.

‎05-03-2012 11:22 AM

I notice that whenever I type in my password and if I type one character incorrectly the system locks up.  The options appears to to click on password hint, but again my entire computer locks up causing me to have to press the power button in order to shut off the computer.
