Hi,
I read the man page saying how to unlock the screenshot. But for sure typing the password
and then enter didn't work for me. Moreover, it is a little disappointing that nothing
either move or changes on the screen while I'm typing, so I don't even know if my typing
actually works!
So, what's the trick with this screenlock?
Thank you,
Nicolas.

hitting a return before entering the password will clear any partial
input. if all else fails, you could drawterm in (assuming it is a cpu
console that was locked) and kill screenlock.

check output of
% grep 'proto=p9sk1' /mnt/factotum/ctl
make sure the right key is on top of the list.

that doesn't seem like a reasonable way to select a key.
i don't see anything in factotum(4) that says that the the ctl
file has any particular order. the man page also says
All keys can have additional attributes that act either as
comments or as selectors to distinguish them in the auth(2)
library calls.
one would think that this would be the proper way to do it.
