    As this is a different error can you please start a new thread.

    That said one thought I had is if this happens after a reboot you have attempted to open the BE Gui too quickly and all the services haven't finished starting up. In which case the Gui would not be able to open and you would get the password prompt (there would also be a message somewhere indicating not all services are started).

    Then by the time you enter the password and press enter all the services have started running and the Gui opens as normal.

    Its a bit of a guess but the only thing I can think of. If you start a new thread I'll post this reply.again.
