How to reset keyboard from ABC-AZERT to QWERT?

I changed by accident my keyboard, and presently cannot login or change my password, because the keyboard shows different symbols. Can you please help?

Have you tried typing your password using the standard azerty mapping?


Do you see a keyboard icon at the top right of the screen? If so, you should be able to click on it and choose another keyboard.


The normal mac shortcuts for switching keyboards are Control Space or Fn/Globe, so you could try those.
