Mac Keyboard on windows 7 - cant change admin password

[fxchampion]

Greetings to all,
I have an embarrassing problem and I hope a kind soul can help me out. I am using a mac keyboard with swedish language and during install of windows 7 a picked a password with @ in it.

This at symbol was done by pressing cmd key and key 2.
However when I login in and want to change the password I cant use cmd and key 2 (this opens a new window) but I have to use alt + 2 BUT windows does not recognize my old password.


So what to do?

Hi fxchampion,

Welcome to SevenForums.

Please update your system specs.

Do you per chance have a friend that has a non-mac keyboard you could borrow? That would be the easiest solution, or

Yes, the x64 version works on Win7x64.

Download the appropriate ISO file, e.g. x64.

You can't copy and paste an ISO file onto a DVD or USB flash drive, it has to be burned.

To burn ISO to DVD use ImgBurn

To USB use Rufus 3.3 or Rufus 3.3 Portable

So what to do?

Try shift+2.

Try shift+2.

Sorry but it did not work. =(
So when I log in to windows I use cmd+2, but when I need to retype the password when changing user credentials in controlpanel cmd+2 does not work since it opens a new file window....


Dont know what to do =(

Thanks for help!
Managed to fix it since I knew there was problems with keystroke. Actually CMD + 2 when log in was an ordinary integer and not "at"
Now I managed to change the password. And thanks to everyone!
