Thanks Hyer for your advice it works.I turned off, unplugged and start it on pressing Ctrl+ Option+ R+P holding it together can erase the weird keys from my keyboard. I could login without the keyboard typed the wrong characters. I also noticed that you can restore your system by starting up by pressing Ctrl+ Option+ R and after the sound press p.

The solution was magical to me. Thanks

What finally worked for me was to add several keyboards in System Preferences > Language and Region > Keyboard Preferences, then delete the US keyboard and add it back. Ugh!

I forgot to add that after that, you need to do a regular restart......Otherwise you are in safeboot mode......Carry on.
