I use fedora linux and I have encrypted my home directory but not any other directory. When I boot my machine, I get prompted for my HD password. However, about 1/2 of the time I type in the password the prompt closes and then it just stops. I wait 2-3 minutes and nothing changes, so I have to reboot my machine. Any ideas... maybe I'm typing the password incorrectly?

What is the behaviour if you intentionally mistype the password? – Paul Sep 26 '11 at 23:11
