Hello,


I was working on my mbpro 13 (late 11, Mavs). At some point i wanted to clean the keyboard keys from the "oily" marks my fingers left..so instead of shutting down, i locked the screen (from the lock icon on the menu bar). I picked a swiffer and wiped the entire keyboard several times..while doing that -as you can imagine- the password field was filled with mambo jumbo, the os rejected the pass whenever i (while cleaning) pressed "enter"; i cleared the password field and continued wiping (thus continued typing mambo jumbo). At some point my login icon replaced with one depicting three silhouettes (like "many/multiple users" thing?), my user name replaced with an, i guess, username field while the password field right under it. So my login screen was like that: The "3 guys" icon and 2 input fields (plus the normal symbols for "cancel" and "switch user")
Does anyone has any idea what that was? My mac has 2 accounts (one admin and one simple user that i normally login to; the quest account is disabled). The only relevant i could find is that: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3707709?tstart=0

Note: this is not a problem that needs to be solved, but more of an urge of mine to know what is..

thank you
