I hope that my earlier email came through explaining in detail what I
found and the eventual solution.
In brief you have to treat the user group element on the logon as a
unannounced button on the logon screen.
The problem was caused by a login required after a maintnance update
which required a restart.
I have never before encountered this screen before when I have agreed
any OS maintenance update. Normally after an update the Mac restarts
into the updated OS without any intervention on my part.
. On this latest update though the update stalls and will not complete
unless you start Voiceover manually and log in using the instructions I
posted earlier.
Now the update has completed hopefully this problem will disappear.

I have the latest update on my I Mac and Mac Mini and I have never
seen the screen that David has referred to. However, if a login
screen did come up, I have it set like my work windows machine, where
I put in my name and password. Other than that, if I don’t do that,
then it would automatically log me in. I’m sure you can set your
login in preferences if you go to usernames and accounts can’t you?
As stated before, I haven’t encountered many bugs as I did a clean
install before I put Elcap on both machines.

David,
Just to be clear, the only options available are Password, Shutdown,
reboot?
What does VO-F1 say for this screen.
What happens if you type escape.
Best wishes,

dthanks - I was not clear enough in my explanation of the issue.
This problem suddenly appeared after a normal maintenance update
today, not a install of any kind.
In addition my User account is identical to my apple ID so there
should not be any issue there.
However on this new logon screen, which has appeared in defiance of
my system settings not to require a log on, and which has never
appeared before, there is nowhere that voiceover sees to enter a
User ID. The only visible to Voiceover edit box is just the password
field.
After entering this you are then locked into just sleep, shutdown
and restart as your options.
I strongly recommend that that people do not install this update if
this is the consequence.
I remember a Mac friend ringing me to complain about this issue
which occured for him also some time ago so it may be a rogue bug in
the OS, it is certainly annoying.

this is your user account login and if you did a clean install you
need to create a user login that is not the apple login

I have not been on my Mac much recently as I have got pretty
disillusioned by various annoyances and bugs which seem to abound
on the Mac nowadays.
I installed the latest El Kapitan update today to see if that
resolved any matters only to be confronted by a whole new range of
access barriers.
I had my Mac set to not require a logon but all of a sudden I am
required to provide one.
I can turn Voiceover on and enter my password but the only buttons
then available to me in the dialogue are sleep, restart and shut down.
I can see nothing about entering an Apple ID.
So all of a sudden I am locked completely out of a very expensive
piece of kit.
Has anybody else encountered this and is there is any solution for
a Voiceover user?
