Note
One regular -ed spelling does double duty: simple past (she entered the room) and past participle after have (she had entered). Because enter is often transitive, the participle also builds passives with be, which is especially common when the meaning is recording or typing: figures are entered in a ledger, a password is entered wrongly. With into it marks agreements: a treaty the nations had entered into.
Every payment was entered in the ledger by noon.
The password was entered incorrectly three times.
