   Here is what I found via Googling:   
      
   Multi lingual support in windows XP, sometime leads to confusing situation   
   where you choose a regional language as default one and at login prompt your   
   password is not accepted as language keyboard can not input proper password.   
      
   To set the proper default language for your input at login prompt you can   
   switch the languages using shortcut keys ALT-LeftShift to toggle between   
   language choices.   
      
   To set the default language choice use Regional language Options from Control   
   Panel and choose Advanced tab select the language of your choice from   
   Dropdown and tick the default user accout setting at bottom as shown in the   
   image and apply the settings. System will ask you for restart and apply the   
   setting confirm the action and proceed.
