[unsolved] Cannot unlock LL

[kyonides]

I was surfing the web and needed to lock up my desktop and go somewhere else. By the time I got back home I just moved my mouse as always (no, it doesn't make me chase him all the way down to a small hole at the wall ) but even if I enterred my password without making any mistakes (while staring at my keyboard) several times it never let me log into my desktop. I cancelled it but the same lock out widget showed up in another language (main language: German, unexpected second language: English) but nothing changed even so.

Does anybody know what happened here? How do I fix it?

Re: Cannot unlock LL

Reboot and choose the root console with internet (if you are running wicd) otherwise just the root console.

Edit the file ~/.kde4/share/config/kxkbrc

Change this line to what is shown below:
LayoutList=us

or what ever language you want. This will restore your keyboard to the language which should let you type in your password to unlock the screen.

Re: Cannot unlock LL

But the keyboard layout wasn't a problem here since I know that I never had a problem with the characters included in my password... Do I still need to do it even if I know that wasn't the case ever before? What's the next step to fix it?
