PooMan, I'd gladly use that tool, but I don't have any way to download it at the moment...
i understand this find a friend make a rescue disc boot it and use the system restore option:)
I managed to get in by typing the password in ASCII using the left ALT key and the numeric keypad.
I still have no idea what caused the English keyboard to become unavailable at the log-in screen, or how to get it back. It's still available from within the user session, as if it never went away.
Got it. I had to copy the language settings from my user account to the welcome screen.
Region and Language Settings - Copy to New Users and Welcome Screen
WELL DONE !!!! bet you are pleased now make a rescue disk using windows and keep it safe!!
To create a recovery disk in Windows 7 go through the following steps:
- Click Start Orb and go to Control Panel
- select Back up your computer under the System and Security option.
- From the left sidebar, select Create a system repair disk.
- Finally select your CD-R/RW or DVD-R/RW drive from the new dialog window and hit Create Disc.
It will start creating a disc instantly. Once complete, hit OK, label it, and save the disk in a safe location.
The total file size of the recovery disk is 164MB which means you can burn it to a CD instead of DVD.
Note that if you are using Windows 7 64-bit then the recovery disk must be made from same version of OS, using a recovery disk from 32-bit is not recommended and vice versa.
in case you cant make one here is a 64Bit version at this link http://www.addictivetips.com/wp-cont...ery%20Disc.iso
