backspace key at boot


Hello

When I boot DSL and add the dsl secure and dsl protect cheatcodes, DSL wants passwords for me to be typed in. However when I make a spelling err I cannot backspace. I have tried the del button as well as ctrl H but that also doesn't work. Anyone got any other suggestions, please?

Thanks

Try Shift-Backspace and see if that works. I don't know if this will work for you or not, but it sometimes works for me when using PuTTY.
