Just got a new laptop.
On setting up, I incorrectly set up a UK keyboard . I also set up my password using the # symbol, but unbeknown to me at the time this was the UK pound symbol.
I then realised that I had a UK keyboard and changed to US / NZ.
Then I rebooted but couldn't log back in. Reason is that my password is looking for a Uk pound symbol, but the keyboard now doesn't have this; only a # symbol.
Googling suggests that a pound symbol can be replicated by a ctrl alt 4, but the login screen doesn't recognise this.
Not sure what to do now as I am logged out.
Help (please) ......
