Login screen does not accept any characters
I am setting up a brand new 2020 16" MacBook Pro for my mother whom is a senior with Parkinson's. Therefore I have enabled multiple asscessibility options. Many of which I cannot remember. It is a definite that I have voice over enabled as it is telling me how to type in the password to login.
PROBLEM IS TYPING the password REGISTERS as NOTHING in the password field on initial login after booting.
I know what the password is and can reboot into recovery mode and log into the account, but that doesn't help me at all. I tried reinstalling the OS (Catalina) and none of the parameters have been reset.
I would love to wipe Clean and start all over again from the beginning. Reinstalling the O/S did not do that.
I am a FreeBSD user myself but the Apple port of BSD is alien to me :)
Thanks in Advance
MacBook Pro 16", macOS 10.15
