Q: Keyboard layout - login problem

Hi all! I have a macbook pro with USlayout keyboard. It looks like the keyboard layout switched to Italian layout (because of a shortcut that I do not know) so now that my mac is in stadby status, I cannot enter my password and login. Could you please show me through the keyboard viewer function, the Italian layout on a US keyboard? Many thanx for your help.

    Go to System Preferences>Language and Text and select Italian from Input Sources:

    If there are some characters you still cannot make, tell us what they are.

     

    When you have access, go to system prefs/users & groups/login options and check the box for Show Input Menu at Login Page.

    That's not possible if you can't login to start with.

    Many thanx Clinton. Unfortunately I cannot access to my macbook because I cannot type corrctly my password (the keyboard layout switched from US to Italian). I need to have a look at the Italian layout on a US/English keyboard. Basically if you have a US/English keyboard, then you should change the language to Italian and finally use the "Show keyboard viewer" function. After having displayed the keyboard on your screen you shoud take a snapshot of it and show it to me. Thank you very much
