Some computers on my network are having the following problem: after the
screen saver locks the computer, when the user press Ctrl-Alt-Del to unlock
it, the username and password fields appears empty and grayed out. There's
no way to get in but to reset it. I have read in the internet different post
about the same problem due to a conflict with VNC, but in my case I'm not
using VNC.

I will thank any help.
