Missing language version of keyboard when writing password
I have a Chinese version of windows XP and I have set up an administrator password using English keyboard setup. Now the problem is, that after restarting the computer, I can only choose Chinese keyboard when I should log on to the profile.It is the only profile on the computer.How can I add the keyboard without being able to log on to the computer?
