I have my MacBook Pro set so that I must enter a password to unlock the screen. Last time it locked, I had the keyboard set on Russian, and now my password is not recognized and thus I cannot access my computer. I tried these things:
1. I turned the computer off and restarted. Apparently this did not reset the language to US; my password is still not accepted.
2. I rebooted using the original OS X Install DVD. In the menu, I chose to "reset password", and changed the passwords of root and the user (there's only one user) to "12345", which uses the same keys in US and Russian keyboards. Upon restarting, the computer recognized my new user password in the login window. But then it asked for a password to unlock the screen, and it recognized neither the new nor the old password. Apparently the password to unlock was not changed and the keyboard is still set in Russian.
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.
