Can I be locked out of my pc with a dual language keyboard?
6 Answers
In Windows 7 I have added another keyboard language (Thai). My default is still English and my system password is in English.
If, when I am using the Thai character keyboard, I am inactive for a while and the system hibernates or shuts down and my password is required to reopen it, will I be locked out with no way of getting back in?
I assume I will only be able to type Thai characters but my password being English won't recognise them but I won't be able to get into the system to change the keyboard back to English! Is that correct?

Though, Thinking about it....
I'm not sure if the option I describe above is available in all versions of win7, it works in the higher versions, don't think it does in the home versions. But... if you have more than one language available you should have the option to swap between them on the login screen on any version.

Shouldn't be.
You can change the language used by the login screen (and the default language for new users) in regional and languages and then by clicking on the administrative tab then click on the copy settings button, as long as it shows English UK under the login screen settings that should be the language that the login screen always uses.
