OES client corrupts windows 10 login
I installed the latest OES client on an hp notebook twice and after re-booting I could not login to windows. I get Username or password invalid, I rebooted in safe mode and used restore to get my login to work. I did this two times.
I need the client installed so can anyone help with this issue?
Thank you!

You don't provide any details to assist with a diagnosis...
- What version of Windows are you using?
- What version of the OES client did you install?
- Did you try a computer only logon and/or a network login?
- Does the OES client work on a different computer?
- Do the Windows Event Logs contain any useful clues?
- What other information do you think might be helpful?

Have you tried the latest Client for OES, SP5 IR2? Here is the link:

Are you sure that you're entering the correct user name / password?
I had a similar case one year ago and it was due to a misunderstanding about the user to use when oes client was installed.

SP4IR10 is for sure not the latest version of the client which can be found here
http://download.novell.com/Download?buildid=qomWLPpJ26Q~
Here's a little history writeup

And while it's very unlikely related, depending on the hardware this one

might be worth a try.

I'll second this one. The only time I have seen an invalid credentials error with the OES client is in fact when the user was entering the wrong credentials. The OES client does not create local user accounts, so when doing a local login, you must use valid local credentials.

I would never disregard someone's suggestion of this as a possibility however because of that I made certain I was using the proper credentials before I posted the message, SO, yes, I am definitely using the proper user name and password.
This is what I have accomplished thus far,
I installed the latest version of the client provided in links in this thread.
Rebooted as required
Attempted local login only
Same result: Invalid username or password
At this point I decided to login to the Novell Network (NW6.5 SBS SP8)
Successfully logged into network as reported by login script but no access to windows
Attempted login to windows using a second account I previously set up with admin rights.\
Successful however I do not see an option to change the password of the main windows admin account.
Tried switching user to original login, Same result Invalid username or password.
Rebooted machine, same result so I used second user account and restored computer again so I could access my main profile,
I "Could" just use the 2nd user id but then I would have to do an awful lot of re-configuring so that is a last resort
Clearly the OES Client install corrupted the original user login credentials. Unless someone has a fix for this, I will try to use "Forensit" or some such utility to copy the original profile to the second user I created.
I would much rather have a better solution. I think if I could change the original user password from the second account I would be able to login with it.
Any other ideas would be greatly appreciated. I am always very grateful for those who offer their time to help others, If I recall correctly Mr. Boyle has been around on several forums for a long time helping lots of people.
