How can a different keyboard solve this problem?
I'm asking because I am experiencing the same trouble: I downloaded this [1] image and I can't login in, neither on terminal, nor via ssh. I know that a qwerty keyboard is expected, so I tried "raspberry" as well as "raspberrz" as password.
When I type letters the all come out correct: I can type "raspberry" (typing z instead of y) as user name and I see that word on the console. So I would expect the letters also to come out correctly when I type in the password.
So what can I do? I do not own a second keyboard. If I really need to try another keyboard, I need to borrow one. Is there any chance I could edit some files on the sd-card, before booting the raspberry?
