I'd like to log in to windows server 2012. It worked yesterday but today I couldn't enter my current password because the H and V keys didn't work and my password includes the h.

I connected another keyboard, however, the issue didn't solve. I connected the current keyboard to another system and it worked correctly. Also, the On-screen keyboard's H and V keys didn't work.

I think that it's driver's issues.

I try to restart the server but I couldn't because the setting that called Shutdown: Allow system to be shut down without having to log on hasn't been enabled yet.

So, what am I doing?

Any helps, appreciated.

  • If you have a numeric keypad on your keyboard you can try to use the ASCII code: ALT+072 (H) or ALT+104 (h). Keep the ALT key pressed while entering the numbers on the key pad. – Peter Hahndorf May 13 '16 at 14:02

If you have a numeric keypad on your keyboard you can try to use the ASCII code: Alt+072 for H or ALT+104 for h. Keep the Alt key pressed while entering the numbers on the key pad.

You can enter any Unicode characters this way. I often use exotic Unicode characters in my passwords.

  • I cannot imagine he will use these ASCII codes every time when logging in. This is helpful post, but it's not a permanent solution. There must be something rotten in his Windows Server OS and it should be more investigated if problem wont be solved after first successful log in. – patok Jan 16 '19 at 06:41
