CentOS lock screen not unlocking

centoslinuxscreen-lockvmware

I have a centOS VM that when I lock the screen it will not let log me back in. I can enter my password as many times as I'd like, even try to "switch users" but the VM just ignores everything and keeps me logged out. I then have to do a restart.

I have both a domain user and local user, both are ignored when trying to log back in. Root does not allow a lock screen, and another person using this VM has both local and domain accounts as well. However he can log back in, but only with his local account. Besides root (obviously) all accounts have the same privileges.

Any idea on what's going on, or how to fix it?

CentOS 6.7

Best Answer

In VSphere hold down the left mouse button over the screen and move up.
