Q: Keyboard stuck in Special Characters mode - now locked out

Hi there all

 

For some reason the keyboard has switched to the Special Characters mode - possibly due to my 2 year old daughter playing with it.
Now I did a reset and am locked out due to being unable to log in.

 

I have tried restarting in the safe mode or whatever it is called with the Disk Utility - where I can use Terminal etc but not sure what to do next. ..

If anyone could help that would be great. Could be a problem with the keyboard if it was damaged ..or maybe I could change the language back

 

The computer is a MacBook from about 2008 running OSX El Capitan

Thanks!!!

Henry

MacBook, OS X El Capitan (10.11)
