  I have uncovered an interesting problem. This particular
  problem has surfaced on the only two 386/20's I know that
  have the passwords engaged. Does anybody have a clue?

  The problem:  Sometimes when the machine boots up it will
  not stop at the password prompt, it will go through the 
  config.sys and autoexec.bat, then, sit and look at you.
  The keyboard will be locked out, the only move is to switch
  it off and hope that it doesn't happen again. On the same 
  machines if I disable the password there are no problems.
  
  Has anybody out there had a similar exp????
