Windows 7 Password hint won't show?

[AtrocityT]

I've been having questions about the Windows 7 password system: I recently decided to put a password on my VIAO Windows 7 32bit system and put a hint to it. Problem is the hint doesn't appear.

Except it appears when I decided to put a guest account as a test.

Is this suppose to happen or is it something I don't know about?

The hint shows after you have entered an incorrect password.

I tried that by putting bogus words into it and yet no hint pops up.

Double check the Settings, of the Password.

However im not sure if this will work for a guest account?

I checked, everything is stable.
I wasn't really trying to use it for a guest account. I was simply testing on how someone here mentioned that they made a guest account to see if their password hint were to appear (since it didn't appear for them) and it did show the password hint.

Ohhhh,

Does it work on your main account?

Nope =/. I mean, I can still use the password yes, but the hint doesn't appear.

Thanks. I don't think my account's corrupt though.

 

[HarriePateman]

I'm sure its not.

 

[AtrocityT]

I'm sure its not.

It could be a part of Windows 7 and I never noticed.

The password should appear. I see it quite often working with Computers everyday.

Have you touched the registry?

Changed the log on screen?

I don't even tough the registry at all. Log on screen? As it the theme? Like how VIAO has themes? Then yes, this morning.

Not a theme, its a custom modification. I'm sure you Havant.

Let me just do some research.
