Windows 10: Stuck on lock screen because of wrong keyboard layout win10

Hello fellows,
Yesterday I set my Bulgarian keyboard layout to be the default one and my German to be the secondary. Then I shut down and today when I tried to log in, only the Bulgarian layout was enabled (Cyrillic letters) and I can't switch to the German layout (Latin letters). You guessed it - my password uses Latin chars *Biggrin. The key combinations Alt+Shift or Win+Space are not working. Password reset works only with pre-made passdisk or something like that (I haven't set one). I tried going to Troubleshoot mode, but couldn't find anything helpful there yet. Running the command prompt troubleshooting option gave me the opportunity to change the keyboard layout, enter my password and use the cmd prompt. There I tried to use the "control" command to set the keyboard layouts but it doesn't recognise the "control" command. Maybe I have to navigate somewhere else (default was system32).
I would greatly appreciate any help *Smile

Thank you

:)

 

Stuck on "Choose your keyboard layout" after recent update install in Widnows 10.

My Acer desktop is also stuck on "Choose your keyboard layout" -- the first screen of the Repair environment. The instructions above can't be applied because the first screen of the Repair your computer environment disables my mouse and keyboard and that
is where and why it is stuck. I can't choose a keyboard layout and move on to steps 4., 5., and 6.

 

Windows 10 Automatic Repair Stuck at "Choose your keyboard layout" / keyboard and mouse don't work

Hi,

Thanks for reply. I'd restarted the computer several times. I can't go to safe mode because as soon as I turn on the computer, it shows the Dell logo, and then get stuck on the "Choose your keyboard layout" screen.

When the Dell logo is on the screen i can use F2 to setup and F12 to boot options. However,neither of those allow me to reset in a factory mode. I have no I important information so I don't worry if I wipe out everything. If I let go to the "Choose your
keyboard layout " screen, the keyboard stop working and I get stuck there.

 

Hi Hybritect, welcome to the Ten Forums.

You can change the input language used for sign-in from bottom right of the sign-in screen:

 

Hi, Kari, thanks for your attention. This option is not present on my lock screen. I suppose I somehow deleted the German keyboard layout so there isn't any to choose from (apart from Bulgarian apparently) :/ I switched on the On-Screen Keyboard but there weren't any options regarding the layout as well...

 

Are you using a local or a Microsoft account, and if MS account do you have the Two-Step Verification enabled?

 

It is a local account. There is no two-step verification set....

 

See if this tutorial can help you to reset the password: Password of User Account - Reset in Windows 10 - Windows 10 Forums

 

Unfortunately, this is only possible if a password reset disk is set before the problem appeared...

 

Apart of the system reset, reinstall or system restore, I have no ideas. You might want to post in the password reset tutorial to ask if reset is somehow possible without a reset disk. I doubt it, though.
