Come on Andy, you can't give up now. You will get there I'm sure. It is
frustrating at times but it is worth it in the end.
Cheers

Hi Ibrahim - So, none of that applies in this case. Completely stuck now.
One final thing before I give up. Can you say if having made a failed
password attempt, is it necessary to back out the characters from the edit
field ahead of having another shot at it? I have tried doing that just in
case, and of course, the Touch in that case just says delete, but not what
is being deleted, so I don't know if it makes a difference really? -
Andy
