Computer logging/locking issues?

How do I unlock a computer, that I am logged into, but for some reason my password won’t take. As in I type the correct password, but no text shows up on the screen. However, when I hit Caps lock, it does show up….
It’s a computer using Windows Vista, and it is a Tablet PC
It’s not a bad password. And I am clicking the box. I’m sure it has something to do with the fact it is Vista.
Or the fact it is a tablet.
