Your PC appears to be stuck in "Num Lock" mode. Depending on your model, you should be able to toggle this mode with the "Num Lock" key. Once it is out of this mode, the letters keys should work.

Was just assigned a temp password by AOL and need to change it.

AOL is a massive American internet service and multimedia company.

One of the main services that AOL provides for its users is access to a user-friendly email server. This server can be used to send and receive emails to other accounts around the world.

However, just like your keys, your wallet and the remote, passwords to email addresses can easily be lost.

When this happens, you can go onto the Internet service and retrieve your lost AOL password without having the change it.

Go to aol.com.

Find the login box on the main page.

Click on the "forgot password" link, which is underneath the login box.

Type in the user information that you do know. This will be your current email address as well as your name as it appears on the AOL billing information.

Type in the last four digits of your billing credit card for further verification.

Click on the "next" button at the bottom of the screen.

Enter an alternative email address where you can retrieve your password.

Press "submit." Retrieve your AOL password from the alternate email address you entered.

Activation of the number pad so instead of letters, numbers are appearing. still need to press the Fn key to get the desired letter.

Hi, try pressing the numlock key - this should put the number pad as standatd until it is pressed again, when it will revert to letters.

Letter keys are stuck on numbers don't know how to change them bo

Hold the "Fn" key down while pressing "F9" key, subtitled "Padlock" (!!) - is equivalent to NUM LOCK nomenclature used on most computers. Note - Repeating above resets number pad to ON.

If that doesn't work for you something is malfunctioning as far as I know.

Don't have user manual Get one?

Check to see if Num Lock is turned on. Depending on your computer, it may light up the key with a green light, or a green light may be lit near the part of the computer where the screen is connected to the computer.
