I can't login; language keyboard problems

Hello!
I own a 15" Macbook Pro (from mid-2012), and I haven't really had problems with it up until now.
You see, I pressed a feature in settings, requiring both the account name and the password to login. What I didn't know is that only English would appear at the login screen by default (call me an idiot, but I didn't know my hotkeyed language keyboard wouldn't work at login). My username is in a different language (Korean), while my password is in English, so at this point, no matter what I type in, I can't log into my account because my user is in Korean.
I've been in Korea for the past two months now, so I called the Apple support service here, but all I got were really vague and unrelated answers/solutions.
I have thought about the possibility of restoring my backup through Time Machine, but I didn't bring my external harddrive over to this country, and I'm trying to prevent myself from reinstalling the OS X if possible.
So, in a nutshell, I guess what I'm trying to ask is this: Is there any way I can log into my account, even though my username and password are different languages?
If I can provide any other information to help you answer this, I would gladly do what I can.
Thank you in advance!

Solved own problem; opened up Terminal through Cmmd + R at startup screen.
Typed in "resetpassword," leading me to a popup window, asking which password I'd like to change.
My account had an English name right next to it in paranthesis.
Restarted computer.
Typed in that English name and password.
Logged in.

  • My computer is off and set up on Japanese. I can not login anymore because I type the password in English but the keyboard was set up last in Japanese language.how can I change the language by using the keyboard only so that I can write in English my pass

    Hi
    My computer was shut down. It was set on Japanese Hiragana language before shutting down. Now I want to login with my password in English. Yet, teh keyboard was set in Japanese and thus, I can not login anymore. How can I reset/change from Hiragana Japanese mode to Englsih ( US) with some shortcuts on my keyboard?
    thank you

    Try Apple/Command + space.
    For the future, go to system prefs/accounts/login items and check the box for Show Input Menu on Login Screen.

  • In R12 can i login and work on two different languages

    Hi,
    I have a requirement that one my end user wants to login to applications using base language and also in installed language at the same time. but the problem is after logging in for the installed language the first login is which was in english is also changing back to installed language.
    I have one thought of using two different browsers, but can i do it using a single browser.
    Thanks,
    Taher

    Hi hussein,
    The problem is not in opening multiple form sessions. But the main problem is as soon i login from another internet explorer session with another language. The first login page also changes back to last login language.
    Steps.
    1. Login to Applications in english: [Forms are not used yet]
    2. Open another windows explorer session. Change language to ARABIC and login. Successful [Forms are not used yet]
    3. Refresh the login done of step1. Now step1 login page also changes back to ARABIC.
    One thing just now i tried is to open one session using IE, and another one using FireFox. This seems to be working fine.
    Thanks,
    Taher

  • Migrated User Account Keyboard Problem AFTER Login

    I have a brand-new MacBookPro (with multi-touch trackpad) that came with Leopard preinstalled. When I first started up the new computer, I set up a new administrator user account first. Then I used Migration Assistant to migrate my primary user account from my PowerBook G4, which is running the latest version of Tiger. I can log into my old user account with the same password I have always used, and everything looks fine--my old desktop is there, my Mail, iCal and iTunes settings all look great, etc.--but I can't use the keyboard. I can use the mouse to click on menus; the keys for the volume and backlight controls work, and some of the keys on the right side of the keyboard work (which seems particularly weird), but I can't do anything else with the keyboard. When I log out of the account and try to go back to the new admin account, the keyboard no longer works at all until I reboot. If I go directly into the new admin account, the keyboard is fine; it only starts locking up AFTER I log into my old user account. I have not had any keyboard problems with any other user accounts that I have created from scratch on the MacBookPro, nor have I had problems with the other user accounts I migrated from the PowerBook. After consulting with an Apple rep on the phone, I have tried the following things:
    1. deleting my migrated keychain file on the problem user account and letting it make a new login keychain;
    2. deleting the original default keychain on the PowerBook and re-running the Migration Assistant;
    3. deleting the problem user on the MacBookPro using the option of creating a disk image, and then creating an empty file in the Users folder with the same name as the problem user account and then dragging the files from the disk image into the folder, and then creating a new version of the user account with the same name, password, etc.;
    4. running Disk Utility to fix permissions (multiple times);
    5. I have completely erased and reinstalled the system on the MacBookPro using the install DVDs twice. The first time, I ran Migration Assistant immediately after the "Welcome," and the second time I set up a new administrator account first and then ran Migration Assistant.
    6. I have also tried the steps outlined in this article: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=306840.
    7. I have tried moving my user files over by hand but then I have a ton of permission problems and I was having trouble getting my Mail settings/mailboxes to move over properly. I've spent hours and hours on this.
    I have NEVER had so much trouble upgrading to a new computer or a new OS in all the years I've owned Macs! What am I missing???

    Well...I'm not sure which of the following fixed my problem, but once I realized it was something to do with the numeric keypad keys, I went into both the Keyboard & Mouse preferences and the Universal Access preferences and I made sure that I set everything back to the default settings. I suspect that going to Keyboard&Mouse-->Keyboard Shortcuts and clicking on "Restore Defaults" is what did the trick. So far, so good. I hope this helps somebody else; I couldn't find anything else anywhere about this somewhat quirky problem.

  • A possible solution for "foreight language keyboard shortcut" problem...

    Hi(Bonjour)!
    Everyone know the problem of losy keyboard layout when Final Cut is used with foreight language keyboard. We loose the COMMAND-Q shorcut.
    As PieroF suggested in many posts in final cut express forum, there is a workaround:
    "+I just installed Leopard and I ran into this keyboard shortcut problem.+
    +I can confirm that:+
    +a. the problem exists also with the Italian keyboard (in addition to other languages, as pointed by other posters)+
    +b. the workaround I described in my previous answer works fine :+
    +- close FCE (if open)+
    +- open System Preferences/International/Language+
    +- drag English to the first place on top of the other languages+
    +- drag your own language (Italian in my case) again on top of English (at the end the window will show the same original settings, but something happened in the heart of Leopard...)+
    +- close System Preferences+
    +- open FCE: now all shortcuts work as expected, and are correctly listed with their corresponding menu commands+
    +It's a workaround, it's not convenient (I'd better have this bug fixed), but apparently you have to apply it only once for each system startup.+
    Piero "
    As stated by Piero, you have to follow this procedure after each computer startup.
    I found a way to restore the COMMAND-Q shortcut with the keyboard and mouse system pref panel.
    Simply add Final Cut application and add a +custom shotcut+. Be careful to type exactly the "Quit Final Cut Express" menu.
    This solution allows to restart the computer.
    It's work with Final Cut Express and Final Cut Pro under Leopard 10.5.4.
    Michel Boissonneault

    Hi Michel,
    I like your suggestion because the keyboard shortcuts defined in the system preferences do not require redefinition at each startup. So in theory we could define all missing/wrong shortcuts this way, and not only the cmd-Q as you suggested. Boring, but we could do it once for all.
    The only problem is that I don't know how to define shortcuts for submenus, for example "Render Selection/Both": it seems system preferences allows only to define shortcuts for the menu ("Render Selection" - in this case absolutely useless) but not for the submenu.
    Do you know a way ? (I looked in the help, which didn't... help).

  • Can't Login to One Site with a Virtual Keyboard

    I am unable to login to one particular site using Firefox 10.0.2 in Lubuntu 11.10.
    The virtual keyboard is visible but does not react at all.
    I can login OK to several (all) other sites with similar virtual keyboards using the same FF in Lubuntu.
    I can login to the problem site OK using Chromium in the same Lubuntu session.
    I can login to the problem site OK using Firefox 8.0.1 in XP on the same PC.
    So I suppose there must be some setting in FF10.0.2 which is obstructing the virtual keyboard - but which?
    I have been unable to find anything to fix or diagnose this problem so far.
    Thanks for any help!

    I found I can also login OK to the problem site on the same PC, using Ubuntu 10.04LTS & FF 10.0.1.
    So I am just missing some magic ingredient to allow me to login to my site using my normal Lubuntu 11.10 & FF 10.0.2.
    Is this a java issue or what, when virtual keyboards don't respond?
    Can nobody point me to anything which might help me to understand/diagnose/fix this problem?
    Thanks!

  • Login / keyboard problem

    I have a powerbook G4, running Tiger, with latest install 10.4.6. I am locked out of the computer, and need a solution.
    My young son randomly typed a few keys while I was using MS powerpoint, and the keyboard stopped working properly. (this occurred the day after installing the latest OS X update). The number keys work OK, however, the letter keys on the left of the keyboard didn't do anything, and the ones on the right would result in numbers being displayed (e.g. in MS Word, powerpoint). everything else seemed to be working OK. I restarted the computer in the hopes that it would solve the problem, but on reaching the login screen the same problem persists, and since I cannot type in a password correctly (doh!), it's now impossible to even login.
    How can I login, and solve the keyboard problem. It seems to me that the manner in which the problem occurred, seems more software related (?).
    Thanks in advance.
    Rob

    Ok - solved the problem - num lock (F6) was turned on (never noticed it before, or knew of its function). doh!

  • Keyboards don't works, wireless or wired. We can't login, can't change settings

    first it was the wireless, only few keys seem to work. Then we tought it was an issues with the keyboard so we bought a USB one, Apple keyboard. And we encounter the same problem. We can't login into the system, I understand the keyboard mouse-mode maybe active, but we can change it now.
    We did try to powerdown and unplug for 15 seconds then reconnect and wait 5 then power up. Also the other resets FLASH or what ever is called, the one with the pressing the four keys, command-option-R-P or something like that.  The thing that is frustrating is that if we can't login so we can't change any setting. No, we can't get in via the guest account. So I am not sure what we can do now.

    It is an iMac with Intel CPU and I think it is running 10.6, we got it new in late 2011 (so perhaps 10.7?). It is my daugther's and she is on the East Coast so I am helping her remotly (from CA), which makes it even more frustrating!   Klaus1, tanks for the reply!

  • Problem with AD and BO XI 3.1 SP3.  Can't login.

    I have configured this previously with 3 different servers but this time it doesn't work.  It's a new server which is 64bit Windows 2008 (prev worked with Server 2003).  It's the 1st time I have installed SP3.  Also it's SQL 2008 which I don't think matters.  I am trying to configure Kerberos authentication.  I have followed the same instructions as previous but can't get it to work.
    I get (FW 00005) error when logging into Infoview or CMC.  Deski also I can't login.  Get [repo_proxy 13] SessionFacade::openSessionLogon with user info has failed.  Thats the Deski error msg. 
    If I change authentication to be NTLM I can login with the client but not with infoview or CMC.
    My Systems guys have informed me there is no duplicate SPN in AD and he has verified the Service Account does not have DES encryption enabled.
    I enabled tracing and get following message in STDOUT "error Message is KDC has no support for encryption type".
    my java version is 1.5.0_17 and I ran kinit which came back with "New Ticket is stored in cache file".
    Anybody any ideas please, losing patience and not sure where to go from here.
    Many Thanks
    David O'Gorman.

    Thanks Tim, you have been a great help.  I am very very pleased to say I have now Client and Webi working for AD with Windows Server 2008.  I have found many threads both on here and on other forums which have the a problem getting AD to work with BO XI installed on Windows server 2008.  My deployment is XI 3.1 SP3 but I don't seem to think which version matters.  Anyway I hope to give something back and give my resolution.  I hope it helps many others with the same frustrating problem.
    I got our systems guys to do as you suggested some "packet scanning".  You had already proved it was a deep routed AD issue so my configuration done to CMC, Tomcat and the 2 files in C:\WINNT (bsclogin.conf and krb5.ini) was correct. 
    I initially got it working with Client.  I removed the new user within AD and used the old one once working as the user was not the issue.
    My systems guy sent me the following:
    Basically the issue boils down to the encryption types supported by Business Objects (i.e. Java) and Windows 2008 R2.
    For Java to authenticate using Kerberos you are limited to using the DES encryption scheme, which has been supported in Windows 2008 and earlier. In Windows 2008 R2 Microsoft decided to disable support for DES.
    So to get BO to work, using group policy we just re-enabled support for DES on the BO server.

  • I have an apple id but ı can not use it for sign in to itunes connect account while publishing my ibook document. Why ı can not login? What can ı do to figure out this problem?

    I have an apple id but ı can not use it for sign in to itunes connect account while publishing my ibook document. Why ı can not login? What can ı do to figure out this problem?

    As note already on the iBA forum [ AppleID for ibooks publishing ], you need two IDs. You can't use your developer ID.
    If you already signed up for books with that ID, you need to talk to Apple to straighten things out.

  • Can't login Lync suddenly, the error is" There was a problem acquiring a personal certificate required to sign in."

    Dear all,
    This is a real issue in working. Our company provides office 365 mailbox and its lync for users.
    Recently, many users meet such issue of " There was a problem acquiring a personal certificate required to sign in."
    The lync version is 2010 and even I removed lync2010 cache for user's profile, that user still can't login lync.
    See below picture.    
    Please give help and show advice.

    Hi,
    The issue may be caused by that the user’s security credentials were corrupted or an RSA folder on the user’s computer may be blocking authentication.
    Here is a similar case may help you:

  • I want to buy a MBP with  retina display, can I get the keyboard in another language than the ones listed?

    I would like to buy my new mac in the states, but want the keyboard to be in another language than the ones listed (english, french, spanish and japanese). Is this possible if I contact them?
    Btw, I know that you can change the language in settings, but I want the physical other keyboard, not to just change it on the mac!

    hopefully they can do the same at the apple store Thank you!
    I think they can from a physical retail store, but you should ask them directly.  Normally the kinds of keyboards available via special order should be those shown at the site below, but I have heard that some probably are only available outside the US.

  • Can't change login language

    Can you please help me in my issue?
    I can not change the login language eventhow I follow the instruction do do it from System Preferences.  When I try the Terminal I can not put my pasword.
    Thank you in advance!

    I understood what you were saying about not seeing the password typed.
    I'm sending you another screenshot, after I entered my password and 2 screenshots from System Preferences.
    Thow the language (if I correctly understand) should be English, in login window and in every porgramme I launch Greek language is set as default.
